Comskip Support Forum

Hi!

I have a question about the RESOLUTION_CHANGE stuff:

Is this feature only for DVB recordings?
I noticed that commercial channels sometimes show an aspect ratio change when starting commercials.

Is this method default on since it replaces FUZZY_LOGIC?

Anything beyond the setting (either a number of a string) separated by whitespace till end of the line, is ignored

Ok, no problem then.
I'd still add the ; for consistency.

Hi,

I noticed the ; is missing from the line:

disable_heuristics=4

Not yet, but I'm going to find out soon.

No problem playing, but I don't know what mplayer does with the 0 lenght entries.

Do you have a proposal for how to add this info to the .vdr file? I rather have it as a list of scenes AFTER the list of cutframes (start/end pairs) as otherwise it is too much work The .vdr file is not XBMC specific, I was just asked to support this format in XBMC. XBMC uses mplayer, and mplayer s...

VRD users use them to quickly move through the recording jumping from scene to scene.

It use a certain scene change detection algorithm that is not bullet proof but usable.

Cool, I'll can use this for a simple 'scene jump' function in XBMC.

Could you test it?

Thanks!
I'll try testing, but I cannot verify exactly since I don't have the linux software running (yet).

Another question:

What dot the <Scene> markers is the videoredo format denote?

No, how would you use that format as it only indicates marks and not what to do with those marks. Comskip can output cut information hh:mm:ss format but only on a single line and not separate line. The VDR format is simple to add once I understand how it will be used. See http://www.xboxmediacenter...

Does comskip support the following format?

http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Vdr%285%29#MARKS

Experiments have shown that videoredo discards on average the first 2 frames from the stream There is a ini parameter to change that with default value of 2 videoredo_offset=2 You can change it to 0 by setting in the ini file videoredo_offset=0 Thanks for the prompt answer. For use in XBMC, I can j...

What is the difference between edl and Vprj output? I'm writing support for edl/comskip/Vprj for XBMC but I notice a small difference in ed/comskip and Videoredo formats: edl and comskip: 201.40 510.64 0 1451.12 1522.04 0 3084.04 3240.80 0 4368.44 4691.64 0 5696.64 5696.68 0 Videredo as generated by...

Drag and drop the previously generated .txt file on comskip.
Hit the 'W' key and comskip will generate the .edl file.

That's workable.

Would be nice though to have command line conversion.

Hi!

XBMC supports .edl files.
Is it possible to use comskip to convert the standard comskip output file (or other supported formats) to .edl, to prevent having to re-comskip all videos?
