<p>I have recorded some TV shows to my PC. They have commercials. And I want to remove those commercials.
I want to know if there is a software that can automatically parse a video file or a batch of files and at least detect the points in time when commercials start and end, and remove/delete those scenes or provide that info in some standard format that can be latter used in another software to do the remotion part of the job?
Thank you!</p>

There is a paid-for, pre-built version for Windows, or if you are comfortable you can build it yourself from source code.
