Commercial flagging generally works very well, if not perfectly - on<br>UK channels which remove their logo for ad breaks. Sadly not many on<br>UK TV actually do that. Sky One does, and my recordings of shows from<br>there skip pretty much perfectly (I know it's not a dvb-t channel).
<br><br>As for other methods (such as blank frame detection) - I've had a good<br>hard look at ad break transitions & they all tend to be wipes,<br>dissolves or hard cuts so things like blank frame detection don't<br>
stand a cat in hell's chance of working.<br><br>I can't speak for the new 'experimental' flagging methods though -<br>some success might be possible using scene change detection coupled<br>with audio level detection (who knows?). I don't record that much
<br>from commercial channels anyway, and it's no big deal to press 4 then<br>right arrow ;)<br><br>--<br>Justin Hornsby<br>Moderator of <a href="http://www.mythtvtalk.com">www.mythtvtalk.com</a><br>email: justin(dot)hornsby(at)gmail.com
