[linux-dvb] automatic AD cutting [was "Timing recording"]

[Olivier JACQUES]

And some other docs about advertisement recognition:

http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/Papers/ISSC2001.pdf

Just be aware that this topic has been discussed several times, and that satellite/cable provider do not like those "features" at all.
I refer to the experience of sonicBlue (http://replaytv.com/video/replaytv/default.asp) which got sued on Oct. 30, 2001 by several big producers (Paramount, Universal, Disney, CBS, ABC, Disney, NBC...) because of their replayTV product that is able to automatically cut ads.
See the complaint here:

I don't know what was the outcome of this...

Oh yes ! Please Sirs programmers ! Have something done for that ! This would be so usefull ! You'll be able to record your everyday episodes whithout thinking about even recording them. Go out on holidays, they will be there when you come back, all ready to watch and trimed out ! :)))

There are interesting document here about frame recognition :

Wave your hands for people willing to work on that, with the open source spirit ! ;)
