andy vt's tools & blog

The subject says it all, I was just wondering because after trying Win7 Beta 1 on my Laptop, I would like to try it on my media center. I don't really want to do this without commercial skipping software.

Along the same lines... if if you can't run comskip on .wtv files... is there any chance you could still impliment it to work on .dvrms files?

The reason I ask is that my main PC that does all my recording is running XP MCE and dvermstoolbox.  All the comskip processing is done on that machine.  I'd like to still be able to make use of the ad-skipping that dvrmstoolbox offers on a Windows 7 machine (with the drives correctly mapped etc etc - I'm alreadying doing this with vista, just wondering if there would be a way to do it with Win7??)

 Do you mean you will have to re-encode it?

I take it they haven't fixed the MediaExperience bug that prevents you from determining the position while playing a WTV file in Win7? So no hope of getting commercial skipping without first converting containers unless they fix the bug and apparently it isn't a high priority for MS.

So does the commercial skip plug-in work with WTV files on Win7 (assuming there is a tool to generate the .xml file for a native WTV)?

 probably, but i haven't tried it.
