Well, I record Lost regularly and just started recording Alias a week or two
ago in order to test with that also, so hopefully I'll be able to figure out
what's going on with these.  Don't expect anything before 0.18 though,
because I don't want to make any detection changes that could make detection
worse for other cases.

For a lot of shows, blank frame works great, probably even 100% for some
shows.  It has been shown to have a hard time with dark shows including
the Law & Order type series.  I personally use the All method and have
AutoSkip Off.
