Sounds good in theory, but how would you feel if you were doing blank frame detection, and recording a show with a lot of scene changes/dark scenes? If you never recorded the commerical (or what myth thinks is a commercial), you would miss anywhere from a few to entire scenes, never to rewind to it again! I would rather see the commflag process start on the recording, say after 10 minutes, that way the longest you would have to wait for the flagging to end is 10 minutes after the recording ends (instead of the length of time that your recording is). I'm not sure what this would affect, or if it's even doable. Just my .02... Josh
