380904 2005-08-14 09:26:00 Hi all. I record TV onto my computer, ads and all. Is there a quick and easy program to remove the ads. I don’t want to save a large file just watch it then delete. TIA kiwibits (5574)
380905 2005-08-14 09:36:00 If u have a dvd burner and the file u have now is mpeg/avi, well a video file, you could use a Ulead program or Nerovision to load it and then edit it, and then burn it.

Have you got a TV tuner on the computer, that u recorded TV from? Or did u use a capture card?

I recorded the Live 8 concert like this (with a TV tuner - which was saved as a 27.5 GB Mpeg file), and split it / edited it with Nerovision and then burned some footage back to DVD.

I use a TV tuner card. I know some PVR programs clip ads automaticly when recording. I was hoping one would do it after. I can do the ulead thing but its alot of hassel to watch 20 minutes of malcome in the middle. :)

380907 2005-08-14 10:13:00 Nope, you will have to edit it, IF the program u recorded it with / or u didn't set the program to cut the ads out, before you recorded it. Speedy Gonzales (78)
380908 2005-08-14 10:21:00 kiwibits....your proberly thinking of the system overseas in which the broadcaster sends a signal at the start and end of the ads. the video or pvr can turn off taping and resume taping according to those signals. however its not advialable here and according to the broadcasters it never will be. tweak'e (69)
380909 2005-08-14 10:29:00 Umm some programs DO have an option to cut out ads -

Windvr is one of them. It lets u set the mins etc so it can cut out ads in between.

380911 2005-08-15 02:32:00 This is an old old story .

Many years ago, (in the 1960s) there were some letters to Wireless World (a very well regarded English electronics magazine) about it . The technically minded reader knew that it would be easy to put a signal in the inter-frame time to indicate that an advertisement was on . (Teletext and subtitles are inserted in this way) . Then any suitably equipped set could squelch the sound .

The representatives of ITV (the English commercial transmitters) said they wouldn't do it, because "people like the advertisements" . He liked advertisements . They paid him .

This was before (though not so long as you'd think -- ever heard of Newmarket Technology?) anyone had thought of home recording of TV . At least the "high definition" 405, 525 and 625 line stuff . I've seen pictures from a (gramaphone-like) disk recording of Baird 30 line TV .

380912 2005-08-17 04:01:00 There are a couple of commercial PVR software products that claim to pause recording during ad breaks,and don so without any special signal being broadcast by the TV station, they do work (from what I have read on them) but are crippled by lack of hardware support.
