Indeed, most would be the same, however, over the releases many new features have been added allowing you to better finetune Comskip.
But all these feature also come with a warning.
If you did not read and understand the comskip tuning manual you better use the comskip.ini that comes with the comskip distribution zip file.

In case you have any particular problems with tuning I will be glad to assist you.

When you want me to have a look at the tuning parameters for a certain recoding the procedure is as follows.

Use the latest comskip, I do not keep old versions.

Set
output_framearray=1
and
verbose=10
in your comskip.ini
Run Comskip on the recording.
copy the generated .txt file to a file with the same name but with .ref as an extension.
Edit the .ref file such that it contains the start and stop frame numbers of the commercials as you would like them to be found.
Zip the comskip.ini, the .csv, .log and .ref files together and mail me the zip file so I can have a look.

Having better results with version .77 using unmodified comskip.ini file. Does that seem right? Did I miss something or some setting that I should now be tweaking in .79?

Can't thank you enough for this program and the work you have done.
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you mail me two log files, both made with verbose set to 10
One from version 0.77 and one from 0.79?

I posted a new version Comskip79_6.zip which fixes a hangup in the debugwindow when the timeline of the mpeg is corrupt.
This happens with some files converted from TIVO.

- Improved the delete_show_before_or_after_current processing to deal with commercials up to min_commercial_size seperating the current and the previous/next show (thanks to spiderman)
- Solved a bug that was causing Comskip to crash on certain recordings
- Improved the display of found logo in the display bar. No more false positives (again thanks bryan)
