A great read. I've always wondered how it was done, but I am disappointed that the use of audio was not covered. Is it used? It would seem to me that changes in sound level or consistency would be a great indicator? (i.e. a show is likely to be quieter, whereas a commercial will almost always have some sound or jingle)For those unfamilar with the MythTV PVR, there's a simple demo of the commercial skipping feature at the same site:<a class="user" href="http://www.mythpvr.com/mythtv/commercial-detection-demo.html">http://www.mythpvr.com/mythtv/commercial-detection-demo.html</a>
