Hi,
I use GBPVR with 2 tuners, a Hauppauge PVR150 and Lifeview TVWalker. I just realised the Walker has been producing avi files by default, as the GBPVR default settings for that device show DivX (MPEG4).
The dirs for the avi recordings do not appear to have the .txt files produced by comskip, whereas the mpg files do. Does comskip not work on avi files?
Thanks!

Confirmation of TYPE of file Comskip works on?
Indeed, Comskip can only work on mpg files.
In the future I may consider changing the mpeg decoder to libavcodec allowing many formats such as AVI or DiVX (MPEG4) as input but its VERY low on my priority list.
There is however a program that is able to do commercial removal on AVI files. Its called CBREAK (google, 2nd hit)
Its uses a rather crude algorithm but it may work in the US on certain type of broadcasts.

dvr-ms is a MS owned container format. Its main purpose is to enforce DRM on recorded content.
I am not going to implement dvr-ms.
Then there is TS, for the moment I only know how to do the seeking in PS.
So maybe in the future.
Which devices to record in TS?
EDIT: I implemented both dvr-ms and ts input.

Ok dvr-ms is no problem anyway, as it can be stripped back to mpeg2.
TS is the transport stream recorded directly from the tv provider. It contains all of the video (in mpeg2) as well as all audio channels (mpeg and ac3). Its not hardware dependent but software. A few pieces of supplied software (from dvb cards) as well as the OS htpc MediaPortal uses it. TS files playback using your normal mpeg2 codecs and I can supply some if needed.

I finally got to talking to a lead dev for MP and the response I got was the they use just a standard TS format, dumped straight from the DVB source. They do have a lot of DVB documentation in their library but the main source of it was http://www.bjpace.com.cn/tec/
Being not familar with the file structures, I wasnt sure if this was what you needed. If not I can get the other documents too.

I keep reading wonderful things about Comskip over on the SnapStream forums, but since I use a capture device that records directly to DIVX I am unable to use it.erik wrote:Indeed, Comskip can only work on mpg files.

I did take the source of CBreak as you mentioned and changed it to generate SnapStream chapter files, but as you mentioned, the commercial detection algorithm cannot compare.
Have you had a chance to work down your priority list to Avi/Divx support?
Thanks!
