Two possible suggestions: - Sound processing (i.e. more than just images) - Commercials tend to repeat, so you could you this to get another metric for a match. Of course, it wll need a fairly well maintained database...

I am intersted in signal/image processing, so it'd be nice to have a bit of a page spring out from this about the current technical means/ideas for implementing commercial detection.

Commercial Flagging Performance

I think it would be great to add in a section on the various performance penalties that the various commercial flagging options add. Obviously blank-frame seems to be the easiest, and scene change probably isn't too hard, but the logo detection probably yields some processor hit.

Another topic that I often don't seen mentioned is the accuracy of the commercial skip function given various recording qualities. I tend to record a plethora of kids shows in low quality and have noticed that the commercial breaks are missed more frequently on lower quality recordings.
