It helps to attach conversion logs otherwise there’s no way to see what’s going on.

You may want to try doing it in two passes if Comskip is having trouble with the “black bars” while detecting commercials.

1. Convert the file and remove the black bars (no comskip)
2. Now change the settings to run comskip and run the output of 1 above with the new settings to have comskip remove the commercials

If that’s working as expected then you can automate the entire 2 process by creating a daisy chain configuration where you have 2 monitor tasks and 2 conversions tasks, the first one will remove the black bars (and be sure to use the Unprocessed profile here to avoid reducing in video quality) and the second one will run comskip and convert the video format.

Creating an automated daisy chain - ordering a sequence of multiple conversions

“Daisy Chaining” Conversions This process will allow to create a sequence of conversions where the output of one conversion task feeds as the input of the next conversion task in a specific order. First you setup one monitor task which feeds into the first conversion task (e.g. MKV Unprocessed), then you setup a second monitor task which monitors the output of the first conversion task (optionally a delay), which then feeds into a second conversion task (e.g. MP4).
