ComCut

Current Version: 1.2 Build 89

Released February 17, 2008

ComCut was written to allow me to stream recorded TV shows from my PC to my TV without commercials. I use a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 with GB-PVR. GB-PVR supports an application called Comskip that scans the recorded video for commercial segments.

ComCut uses the list of commercial segments from Comskip to create a new copy of the recorded show without any commercials. ComCut is currently only designed and tested to work with GB-PVR and Comskip.

Using ComCut

To use ComCut on an MPEG-2 recording, run the following command:

comcut "filename.mpg"

If you are using GB-PVR, place the following command in postprocessing.bat:

comcut %1

ComCut can be configured to run Comskip itself if you haven't put comskip in your postprocessing.bat file or configured GB-PVR to run comskip while the show is recording.
