Comclean Confusion

[JMT]

I have installed comskip and comclean. Comskip seams to work as it generates a file however the commercials are not being removed by comclean. I have done a search and I have learned that I must make some changes to a Bat file. Unfortunately I am not sure what a Bat file is or how to find/change it. I am running the latest version of gbpvr. I have reached the end of my capability and knowledgeable directions would be greatly appreciated.

A bat file is one that has the suffix ".bat" (as opposed to .txt for text files and so on). You might have to go into your explorer: tools->folder options->view and rmove the tick for "hide extensions for known file types" to be able to see extensions (you should always do this anyway). Then you can start looking for the bat file (bat is short for "batch"). I don't know which one you are talking about, though When you have found it, you can right click it and choose "edit", which will open it in notepad.

Hopefully the thread you are talking about can tell you what to change in the bat file...

stefan, thanks for the help. I was able to open the bat file in not pad, unfortunately I could not find, what I'm supposed to change (below)

Configuration

You MUST check the framerate in the Comclean.bat file The default is set to PAL

set framerate=2500

Set to 2997 for NTSC

bat file in notepad

Rem demux the mpeg file
bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xe0 "%~dpn1.m2v"
bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xc0 "%~dpn1.mp2"
Remove the commercials
"c:\program files\cuttermaran\cuttermaran.exe" "%~dpn1.cpf"
del "%~dpn1.m2v"
del "%~dpn1.mp2"
Rem Mulxiplex again to a regular mpeg file
mplex1 "%~dpn1_clean.m2v" "%~dpn1_clean.mp2" "%~dpn1_clean.mpg"
del "%~dpn1_clean.m2v"
del "%~dpn1_clean.mp2"
del "%~dpn1*.info"
Rem RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name
if EXIST "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
if EXIST "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" move "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"

In comclean.bat it is the fourth line down from the top

Seems to me that you have only a part of the comclean.bat file.
If you are sure this is enough then just add: set framerate=2997
as the first line of the bat file. In the original bat file there is a setting: set framerate=2500 that you only would have to change.

bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xe0 "%~dpn1.m2v"
bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xc0 "%~dpn1.mp2"
Remove the commercials
"c:\program files\cuttermaran\cuttermaran.exe" "%~dpn1.cpf"
del "%~dpn1.m2v"
del "%~dpn1.mp2"
Rem Mulxiplex again to a regular mpeg file
mplex1 "%~dpn1_clean.m2v" "%~dpn1_clean.mp2" "%~dpn1_clean.mpg"
del "%~dpn1_clean.m2v"
del "%~dpn1_clean.mp2"
del "%~dpn1*.info"
Rem RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name
if EXIST "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
if EXIST "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" move "%~dpn1_clean.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"

This is the comclean2.bat, ment for use with cuttermaran!!!!!!!
Do download comclean_0_0_6.zip
Extract it inside your gbpvr program folder.

Then open comclean.bat in notepad
Top lines should read like

@echo off
Rem comclean.bat Version 0.0.6
Rem Adapt to your framerate times 100 (PAL=2500/NTSC=2997)
set framerate=2500
Rem Adapt to where mpgtx.exe can be found
set mpgtx="c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\mpgtx.exe"

Replace
set framerate=2500
with
set framerate=2997

and save the file. Close notepad.
Make sure it gets the .bat extension and NOT the .txt extension when saving.
Check if the change did happen by opening comclean.bat again in notepad.

I did as you said and all is well. I also noticed that I did not enable comclean in the postprocesse bat. It now works very well. Thank you very much for the help.
