With v2.2.3 it is converting a better quality and compensating for irregularities in the video better. The one item I have not been able to fix is Comskip consistently starts the edit 2 seconds after the commercials start and ends 2 seconds into the returning show. Is there a way in the INI to tell Comskip to always begin edit 2 seconds sooner than it thinks it should and end edit 2 seconds sooner than it presently is... or some other recommended way to get it to start stop 2 seconds sooner?

Thanks, David

I think you could try doing this:

remove_before=4
padding=2

Padding=2 will buffer each end with 2 seconds. That would take care of your 2 second cutting into the show at the end, but then you would have 4 seconds extra at the beginning thus the remove_before=4

Also in addition to the above, check the MCEBuddy Advanced Commands Wiki (from my signature).
Try settings ForceEDLP=true in your profiles.conf and see if that helps (refer to doc).

David,

Yes there is a way to offset the Comskip timings. Insert edl_offset=xx into your comskip.ini; where xx=the number of frames subtracted from the videoredo cut time output, use negative numbers to shift to later.

For example, if your video is at 30 fps, edl_offset=-120 will shift the editing of the commercial by 4 seconds. In this example Comskip will start cutting the commercial 4 seconds later and end the commercial cut 4 seconds later.

In your case, edl_offset=60 will tell Comskip to begin the edit 2 seconds earlier and end 2 seconds earlier; assuming your video is at 30 fps.
