For all you PVR users out there ~ Cbreak

I began searching for a way to have my computer remove the commercials for me. After a while, I realized that commercials are punctuated before and after with a little bit of black space in the video stream. That meant that I could make a program that scans for these and automatically drop commercials from video files.

That's when I said "Sweet!" and went to work.

When all was said and done, I had a highly useful commercial removal utility. The source code is included, so feel free to grab it and make modifications, redistribute, etc. I release the source code to you under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). I also ask that if you make any substantial additions to it, that you let me know so that I can put your variation on this page too.

When you send a ecard you send the gift that keeps on giving. (SPAM)

I recommend you make your own or just write down how you feel in a email and send your best wishes.

If I see any type of program I'll post it.

A Google Search turns up: Unique Gift Maker Greeting Card and BestGreetings. Maybe one of those will do the job.

I've been looking for software like this to remove commercials, but do you know of something that would work with MPEG files instead of AVI.

Well i didnt go threw all 55 pages but the best freeware program ever, that would protect you from 99.9 % of threats, and a hell alot more secure then windows will ever dream of is Linux. How can we forget about Tux. If used correctly adn you know how to use it, Linux can be the most powerful tool in you arsonal of tools.

I think you're absolutely right, and I don't know why I still using Windows, except that I had some real problems installing Linux, and it took me 2 weeks to uninstall it, and I've been too chicken to try again.

I use linux 90% of the time. The only reason that i still use windows is because there is software the i need for work that i cant seem to get wine to run, but even then i still use VMware so it still linux. Well sort of. Anyway you should try it on a old pc that dosnt have windows on it. once you get use to it, and start learning it, you wont use windows unless you have to.

Morning clmowers

I mostly use windows, but have an interest in Linux.
What program under Linux best replaces MS Money?
I'm still using Money 2000, mostly for my stock portfolio.
I do no online banking or bill paying.


Thanks for any input
