Run comskip in gbpvr or parallelprocessing?

[firehorse]

Hi,

I'm still learning about gbpvr.

I've now come across comskip and the multitude of ways it can be done!

It's been recommended to me by stattik to run comskip during the recording process.

But even this can be done either by gbpvr or parallelprocessing.

In gbpvr
Tab misc - tick autoskip commercials
Tab processing - select comskip and tick run during recording

In parallelprocessing
rename comskip's postprocessing.bat to parallelprocessing.bat
Also in gbpvr
Tab misc - untick autoskip commercials
Tab processing - commercial detection - None. Untick run during recording

I've got a wintv Nova-TD usb stick with dual tuners and sometimes I do record on two channels at the same time.
I've got amd 3800+ X2

Have I got the above setting correct?
Is there any difference between the two ways?
Would using parallelprocessing use two cores and gbpvr only one core?
Is there a better way to do this?

Many thanks
Alan

Most people only create a parallelprocessing.bat or postprocessing.bat if they need to perform additional logic (conditionally run comskip based on channel number, move video file after recording etc), otherwise if these files dont exist GB-PVR can run comskip directly.

If the batch files exist, it always runs them in preference to directly running comskip.

Thanks for clarifying that.

In the UK we have BBC channels without adverts so it would make sense to not use comskip commercials on these channels.
