However, for a while now some of the .mpg files I've recorded with eyeTV fail to comskip. I've tried to fix the problem in every way I
could think of, but I've finally reached the limit of my skills, and now must ask for assistance.
Certain cable channels seem to cause the problem more than others. I've enclosed the Comskip .log file of a typical failed Comskip. I can
provide any other info or an .mpg file itself if requested.
I've tried these files under both OSX (using Wine) and Windows native, same failure occurs.
Can anyone see what's going wrong here? (Hopefully simple to see and easy to fix
Here's my OSX command line: (for Windows I just dragged the video file onto comskip.exe)

I've split the log file into two parts due to excessive length for a single post...

Detection Methods to be used:
1) Black Frame
2) Logo - Give up after 2000 seconds
3) Scene Change
4) Resolution Change
5) Closed Captions
6) Aspect Ratio
7) Silence
8) CutScenes
ComSkip throttles back from 0800 to 0200.
The time is now 2257 so comskip is running slowly.
