thanks, it sounds like this one is an evolution of the ones posted
by Thomas, and therefore I should try this first?<br>

Out of curiosity, could you elaborate & quantify your
experience of comm detection on 0.21, as you imply it worked
well for you ?<br>
ie. channels, methods used, hit rate etc.<br>
<br>
It could be an interesting data point. I'm not sure I ever tried
it on 0.21, but I've found subsequent versions have been
ineffective on mainstream UK TV</div>

It's a couple of years ago that I was using it, but it worked say
70% of the time. After the ad detection job had run I would go in
and edit the file and transcode. I think it worked poorly on Film 4
(where there are typically a lot of trailers for films or similar at
the start and end of ad breaks), and pretty well on traditional
channels (ITV, ITV2 etc). In any case it was very helpful and I
could usually edit a recording in 30 seconds or so. <br>
