Editing soft cuts first hour, not first commercial

[Jon_J]

Last week, I recorded "Bugsy", which is a 2 1/2 hour clip with commercials with tsreader.
I wasn't able to get GBPVR to tune any channels at that time, thus I used tsreader.
I tried both VideoRedo and Womble video wizard to cut the commercials out.
I was able to cut off the last part off, earlier last monday in womble.

Attempting to cut the first commercial results in the movie being cut down to 1 1/2 hours.
VideoRedo leaves a 2 second green screen at the beginning, and womble doesn't do this.
I tried manually running comskip/comclean, but comclean just barfed with the errors.
It said something like there are no zeros at the beginning of the file.
I've since deleted the log, because I was getting logs from various applications scattered in my movies dir.

I've tried TS Packet Editor, ProjectX and am now trying Mpg2repair on the original file.
TS Packet Editor and ProjectX apparently didn't fix the errors, because when I cut the first commercial out in
both VideoRedo and womble, I had the same results as above.

Any ideas?
Thank you,
Jon

I use TmpGEnc to cut out the commercials on mpeg files, do not know if this would work on TS files. But you do have to do it manually, still playing around with comskip to do it automatically after the recording has finnished.
