This profile will create commercial-free h.264/AAC files in a MP4 container, which will playback on the Zune/iPod/iPhone/Core/TCPMP. In a nutshell, it does the following:

1. Scan the TV show file for commercials.
2. Use mencoder to create a new TV show file without the commercials.
3. Use Handbrake to convert the file from MPEG to MP4 (h.264/AAC).
4. Use AtomicParsley to write metadata to the MP4 file (e.g., show, episode, air date, etc.).
5. Use DTb to rename the show to a friendly format (e.g., “Fringe - 2008-12-03 - Safe.mp4″).
6. Use MoveOut to move the shows to the correct folders (if necessary).

I have a complete rundown of the actions here.
