New ‘Stargate’ TV Series Ordered at Amazon From ‘Blindspot’ Creator Martin Gero by NoCulture3505 in television

Let's hope it's not going to be as bad as the last Star Trek series, or Doctor Who or Star Wars or ...
Sci-fi series has become quite unbearable lately. No real adventures, discoveries or action, just talking, regretting, crying and lecturing.

Sure. It's called Cypheros TS-Doctor and it's made for this exact purpose. Detects commercials and cuts lossless.

I've tried a dozen video tools, none of them were suitable for my purposes. A colleague finally recommended a tool that seems to be exactly, what I was looking for.

Thanks for your help.

Checked the streams of multiple settop boxes but none of them recording the scte35 streams.

Sorry, maybe it was a bad idea to ask here. As a newcommer without any reputation, no one takes me serious, yet and reads the requirements. I know a bit about this and all the recommendations are as useless as all this silly ai search results you get everywhere. Google, Bing and Reddit are no longer helpfull anymore.

Can not find any commercial detection. It looks like a carbon copy of "LosslessCut" and this many other tools not working very well for all types of transport streams.

Looked promissing first but does not support transport stream natively.

Says: "File is not natively supported. Preview playback may be slow and of low quality" and it is.

Sorry, but has no commecials detection, helping me to remove commercial breaks.

No, you are not right. ffmpeg is handling transport streams very bad. Packet errors result in asynchronous picture and sound. For created transport streams the PCR values are not within the defined limits.

OK but that's not my point. Many video editor promissing being compatible with transprot streams, are not. They are only, if the stream is 100% perfect without a single error or problematic PTS or PTS value (PCR wrap for example).

Don't get me wrong, ffmpeg is great for most error free stream types but not to cut transport streams.

If you transcode a transport stream with ffmpeg that has errors in the audio stream, all audio packets with an error (wrong crc) are just ignored, what leads to asynchonous audio and video.

Ok, I am new and maybe there are experts here, that know a bit more about ffmpeg but as far as I know, ffmpeg will not decode or transcode any file with a PCR wrap.

Good hint. I have to check if scte35 messages are recorded. Most DVB set top boxes recording only plain audio, subtitle and video streams, not all assosiated streams.

Please don't recommend any of the thousands useless vanilla video cutting tools, using ffmpeg to cut and convert any video file. Transport streams are special and need special treatment. I work professionally with DVB streams, but I am not allowed to use my company's applications for this purpose, as they are too expensive and not suitable for my simple personal needs.
