I have also noticed that depending on the brightness of the show, it goes from being good, to really getting strange detections. Battlestar Galatica.,a very dark show, for example, is awful about getting large chunks of the show detected as a commercial. On the other hand, sitcom type shows, which are very bright, tend do to pretty good with it. How are you trying to view the avi? You will need to be using mplayer in freevo to use the edl file.
