A Guide to Automatically Remove Commercials from EyeTV Recordings

[tannhaus]

Before now, there really hasn't been a way in OS X to automatically detect and remove commercials from EyeTV recordings. So, I've done a little work and created a way to do so. It uses wine and a windows-only program, but the whole thing does run on OS X and with a little changing around, could work on linux as well..with the scripts I've written.

It doesn't just work on EyeTV programs. Any program you record into mpeg2 format can have the commercials automatically removed using this method:

A bonus is that this script automatically encodes the recording into H264 format for exporting to your iPhone.
