[mythtv-users] Low Bitrate Compromise?

Greetings, fellow MythTV users.

I wondered if my bitrate, set rather low on my PVR-250, might be messing
with commercial flagging?

/usr/local/ivtv/test_ioctl -c bitrate=3200000,bitrate_peak=4000000 -p 0 -f
width=640,height=480

Otherwise, this seems to return quite satisfactory video and sound, at a bit
under 700MB per half hour; but commercial flagging is completely unreliable.

If not bitrate (or even if so) what might be other steps in my configuration
to improve commercial detection?

Thanks,
DAM
