Given the loss of video quality, and the conversion time, I think it’s better to fast forward through the commercials myself. The good news in all this is that Comskip did an outstanding job of removing the commercials. Just not as good as watching directly from the Tablo, or even watching the downloaded mp4 video itself, which was of very high quality (I’m using 720p Roku setting on Tablo). There was also a degradation in quality of the final video, though it’s very watchable. MCEBuddy, though I didn’t accurately time it, took at least an hour or more. The download of the show took about 3 minutes. Otherwise I'll need to pursue the solution from a scripting perspective, of which I know nothing about.Just ran MCEBuddy on my 1/2 hour video downloaded from Tablo.

So I'm just curious if there are editors that have the kind of re-wrapping functionality that ffmpeg command prompt has. The ones I have used have very limited functionality when it comes to rewrapping/'no-encoding' compared to ffmpeg command prompt, or just always re-encode to begin with. I don't have much experience with the modern capabilities of video editors. Then it just chooses the nearest i frame to my cut choices (if it displayed the i frame that would be good too) and does all the above stuff. I mean the simplest and ideal process I can think of is: I toss the videos in the editor, i click an option to disable re-encoding, i choose the sections I want. So I wanted to know if there are any gui (video editors) that support this functionality of ffmpeg in a more manageable manner. But putting all this together and checking the video after getting each piece of information.turned into a very inefficient process. I looked up how to find the nearest i frame to try and get more accuracy when choosing times. I currently can do it by using each command separately i.e.:įfmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i input -to 00:00:00 -c copy outputĪnd then I'd concaticate the pieces I want together. I was trying to do the above with ffmpeg, but without re-encoding.

Same as described in the link below think: removing commercials from a tv show.

To illustrate: Say I want to delete the 10-11 minute point of a 20 minute video and create the new video of 19 minutes without re-encode.
