That will remove<br>> the commercials... well I guess you need to go into the cutlist editor<br>> and tell it to apply the commercial flagging as a cutlist, but I thought<br>> you had to do that with lossless transcode too. There's also a<br>> --cleancut option that improves cutting by doing the last 200ish frames<br>> of each cut by skipping rather than trying to jump to the exact end.<br>> <br>> Cheers,<br>> Paul.<br>> _______________________________________________<br><br>Paul, can you clarify please what happens with the --cleancut option? Does the skipping only work if the transcode output is placed back into the Storage Group in place of the original recording, and not in 3rd party programs like Windows Media Player? Is the intention of --cleancut essentially to minimise the chance of missing a few seconds of viewing around the cut boundaries if a mistimed (incorrect) cutpoint is created during commflag detection?<br><br>From the brief description it would seem that --cleancut would leave 8 sec (200 frames at 25fps?) of commercial in at each boundary which seems like a lot, is there a switch to drop it back to say 1 sec or so?<br></div> </div></body>
