comskip and DVRMSToolbox support questions

I am trying to get DVRMSToolbox working on a new windows 7 build with WMC.

I installed the
DVRMSToolbox1225
DTBAddin1007-R3

DVRMSToolbox1225 looks to include a version of comskip. Will this version work with the WCM recorded files or do I need the Donator version I read about? Since most of the post are so old, I assumed it was available now.

With the build I installed, no commercials seem to be found in the log files. I also downloaded your comskip81_069 version from the downloads. I copied this to the DVRMSToolbox app folder but I got the same results.

This is the file that Comskip created

Any suggestion what I need to do?

Thanks

What you posted is not the comskip generated log file.
You can test comskip by dragging and dropping a recording on comskip.exe or even better comskipGUI.exe
With the latter a black and white video window will appear that will sho how comskip is processing the recording,
If no video appears the recording may be copy protected and comskip will not be able to process the recording.
