However, the log files should go to Jere_Jones@gmail.com along with a description of the problem.

Yes welcome to the GBPVR forums. Comskip is an awesome program you are doing great work.

Version 0.42 is up over on the sage forum here.

A list of changes is also there.

Enjoy,
Jere

BTW, command line arguments to choose ini files and change individual settings will be available in about 2 weeks.

Been keeping an eye on this forum for a bit, and im glad things are going so well!

First time i tried ComSkip it failed halfway through everytime, but thankfully the new version has fixed this, i know PVR(SWE) mentioned a similair prob.

The only problem i have is with VirtualDub, ive never used his before but when i try to run any of my .mpg files recorded by my PVR-350 it gives me this error: "No video frames found in MPEG file." so i cant check the effectiveness of the commercial points. Anybody any clues as to why this is?

loving your work Jere_Jones and the other developers on this

are you using virtualdub or virtualdub_mod? You need to use the latter which can be found here.

Cheers,
Colin.

Thanks Colin, was using the first. VirtualDub_Mod solved the problem!

A soon to be added feature of comskip is the ability to output VideoReDo cutlists and ZoomPlayer cutlists. It would not be hard to add a similar routine for GB-PVR if the current output isn't convienent for this group.

If that's the case, just come up with a format and I'll incorporate it.

Hi Jere,

The current file format is good with me. The only unfortunate thing I find is that people use the same file naming convention (videoname.txt) for other purposes. It would have been good if the comskip file had contained a header line identifying it as such. Currently I'm having to check if the first line has two numbers.

Maybe a command line argument to include an optional header?

[Jere_Jones]

What about a different extension?  Maybe .cif for commercial identification file.  Or whatever.

I have thought about an enhanced output command line option that would include various information, but I don't know what.  Maybe somethink like:


<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
Commercial Identification File
