[QUOTE="sjeffrey, post: 595395, member: 81884"] I also donated over 1 year ago and it did work. I haven't been using in for a while though since I completely reinstalled everything and just got to lazy to do the comskip setup. About re-encoding, my initial vision was to record, cut commercials, re-encode and archive all my shows. Well after countless hours of cursing and banging my head I gave up. Back then there wasn't any good h.264 TS editors and I just about always had issues with audio sync after cutting commercials. I ended up just using the TS with the comskip files and MP would automatically skip. Another thing is I think broadcasters have gotten smarter and use tricks to get around things like comskip. What I mean is when you setup comskip you have to set values to help it identify when it's a show and when it's a commercial. Things like logo display could be assumed as your show and not be cut out. Well some channels now have the damn logo show up during or between commercials which tricks comskip. You can fix that by changing your settings but you'll ultimately endup with a config file for each channel or show. This was too much effort for me at the time and I just decided to walk away from it... Oh and you other question about how long for 1h HD, I think roughly it was about the same time as the recording. For sure it wasn't very fast. Perhaps there developer has optimized the code to run faster since I looked at it. I sure hope so... [/QUOTE]
