is there a way of forcing comskip to use the aspect ratio information over everything else?
my recordings are in 4:3 and every commercial break is in 16:9 no matter what and so i only want it to use that info..
KoNG
im playing around with cut_on_ar_change but its tough (and is that the only way?)
force aspect ratio?
The impact of all information is used to score a certain block using the modifiers as listed in the tuning manual
The modifier for wrong aspect ratio is
ar_wrong_modifier=2.0
The default value is 2.0
You have to take care of two elements to get what you want.
You need cuts on AR changes, that what happens when you set
cut_on_ar_change=1
and you have to make sure that any part with a wrong aspect ratio is thrown away. You can do this by increasing the ar_wrong_modifier to a much higher value, such as 100.0 or even 1000.

thanks for the reply
using the default .ini file with detect_method=41, ar_wrong_modifier=1000, max_commercial_size=300 and cut_on_ar_change=1.
this is my log file
it gets the beginning and end of the file right, but theres a commercial break in widescreen from 1831x to 2415x, which should come at the end of block 1 and the beginning of block two.
any ideas as to how i can tune this out?

any ideas as to how i can tune this out?
As you can see in
I would like to understand why the aspect ratio is undetermined.
Could set
output_framearray=1
in you comskip.ini and mail me you comskip.ini and the generated .csv file?
(I can receive very large files)
Then I can have a look what's happening.
Comskip is not able to determine the aspect ratio for about 16 minutes of the show. When Comskip can not determine the aspect ratio it will not take any action based on aspect ratio.Block: 1 Start: 19535 End: 44111 AR_R: 0.00 Length: 0:16:23.04

its in the mailDo you record with a low horizontal resolution? Such as 480 pixels?
I have made a change to the aspectratio processing of Comskip to be able to deal with these low horizontal resolutions.
Could you test this new version? Comskip79_15.zip
Inside you will find an updated tuning.rtf file and an updated reame.txt
Now you can brute force cutting on aspect ratio changes by setting cut_on_ar_change=2
