However, I have noticed that the output cut list shows the cut points to be 8 frames later than I think they should be.
For example, at the beginning of a commercial break (during the black period) Comskip will mark the cut point at frame 6,008 - but when I view that area in VideReDo, I can see that the middle of the black period is at frame 6,000 and that frame 6,008 includes some of the first frames of the commercial. Similarly, at the end of the commercial break, the centre of the black period is frame 8,000 - but Comskip outputs the cut at 8,008 which includes the first few frames of the re-commencement of the program.
Eight frames doesn't sound like a big deal, but what it means is that when I watch the "cleaned" video, a flash of commercial will appear where the cuts were made, and I will miss a few frames at the re-commencement of the program.
I can't figure out why the cuts are out by 8 frames, unless it is due to using a DVB-T recording that might contain dropped frames and comskip looses track of the actual frame numbers? Or is there something odd about DVR-MS files and frame numbers?
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this, or where I might look for the cause/solution?
Otherwise, Comskip is working perfectly...
