Steps
1. Create a blank folder on a share that the PCH can access
For those of you who aren't comfortable with the command prompt I am uploading a 170MB sample of a reasonable approximation of a 5 minute comcleaned set of files http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I07WZAFK you can unzip to this folder and you can move to step 7. Otherwise
2. download mpgtx for Windows here http://mpgtx.sourceforge.net/#Download
3. from the command prompt navigate to the folder you made in step 1
4. Unzip mpgtx into this blank folder
5. Select a short mpeg-ps file you want to test for input for step 5
6. run mpgtx -s 10 \recordings\input.mpg
7. From the PCH native interface navigate to the share that you created in step 1.
8. Hit play (not ok) to start playing all the files in the folder sequentially.
9. If you hit skip and prev you can mimic comskip and judge the delay,
10. If you just let it play in order things seem ok, however
11. Because the timeline is broken you can't use the mono right/left arrows or the time seek anywhere but the first file. FF/RW might work. You also can only move between segment with prev and next.
So yes, this is comskip but I don't think people really want it, even as their number one priority. You have to factor in all the elements it isn't just just saying I want 1 then 2 then 3, it's pretty much all or continue with mono.

so what about taking the chopped up files and re-encoding them into something smaller, like, say, h.264, doesnt that fix the timeline? and save space
