Commercial Detection improvements

[PerryM]

I am impressed with the advances to the current version. I can see in the process window that use is being made of the in-vision bug to detect the wanted parts of the programme. I would state from a personal perspective that if we could just see the false break detection removed then I would assess the performance as adequate and I would definitely use it. Previously it was too slow and inaccurate to be of use. I have been a professional video editor so I will always 'finish off' the edits by hand, but having the automatic cut points within a few seconds makes a big difference. The AC3 detect mode is fine when applicable.
It would be easy to produce an accurate and fast algorithm to work specifically on (UK) ITV HD films which is what I mostly need (The other UK commercial HD stations work fine with the AC3 mode seek). I can of course understand that we have to have a more generic solution.
Anyways - a big thankyou and good luck to all of us for even better improvements!
cheers
