I haven't had much time to work on Myth lately and haven't spent much of that
working on the commercial flagging.  There were a couple other people who
emailed me a while back saying they were working on it, but I haven't
heard from anyone recently except the people who have posted on the list
here.  The flagging isn't an exact science, but it has been working well
enough for me lately that I haven't been as motivated to work on it.  I
still use only blank-frame + scene-detection and am usually happy (and more
importantly my wife is).  :) Tonight my wife and I watched CSI recorded from
SpikeTV and it was a "Perfect Skip" (TM) everytime.
