I noticed this whole thing about DVRMSToolbox which enables you to convert the DVR-MS files (TV recordings from MCE) to other formats and also enables you to cut out commercials.
I was pleasantly suprised at how well this worked. It cut out commercials with 99% accuracy. It only seemed to miss commercials right at the start of the show.
I used the default settings and setup and haven’t had a chance to really play around with the settings. You can find the user guide here. The one thing that bothers me is that once you’ve converted the file to mpg it doesn’t shop up in MCE anymore as recorded tv shows and it also loses all the metadata about what the show is about. This is a pitty especially as my ultimate goal is to convert it to MP4.
