Removing Ads from MPEG streams
Hi,
I do DVDs from TV series - currently I use a VCR to record the episode, capture it and convert it to MPEG2 format. I've been thinking about buying a digital satellite receiver with HD so I can save myself the trouble of capturing and converting.
The only problem is that each episode has at least two interruptions by advertisements. How do I get rid of them?
Well, cutting an MPEG file cleanly should only work on I Frames - which would mean I can get no clean cut out of the movie and - more importantly - no clean cut INTO the movie when I want to join the part after the commercial break to the part before.
As far as I understand MPEG you'd have to recompress the last GOP sequence and to recompress the first GOP sequence of the next scene before you can do a clean join without synch problems.
Has anyone done something like that before and can you name a tool with which you can cut an MPEG on any - and not just I - frame?
Thanks in advance,
HtF
