Jeg har ikke noget imod at betale, men

Jeg har arbejdet med computere siden 1967, hvilket afslører min alder en smule. Hvis jeg havde fået bare en enkelt krone for hvert softwarepakke, jeg har købt, som ikke virkede, kunne jeg have trukket mig tilbage for år tilbage.

Det sagt, har jeg ikke noget imod at betale for software, der virker. Jeg vil dog gerne verificere, at det virker, før jeg betaler noget som helst. Jeg finder adskillige links til at downloade “premium”-softwaren, men kan ikke finde nogen prøveversion. Vil nogen venligst henvise mig til, hvor jeg kan finde denne prøveversion? Dens placering undslipper mig.

Hvis dette virker som beskrevet og automatisk fjerner reklamer fra DVR-optagede videoer, vil jeg med glæde donere et beløb.

Tak.

Even if you get the free version, it still may not be a good representation of what can be done with the premium version due to the enhancements in accuracy and speed improvements available with the premium.

This is my situation as well. Currently I am manually removing commercials on approx a dozen shows during the course of a week. I’ve gotten to the point where it takes me about 5 minutes (not counting encoding time) to open the file - remove the commercials - save the file. After that I let either Plex optimize the file behind the scenes or, if the mood strikes me, do them in Handbrake for conversion of mpeg4.

The commercial removal process is a 5 minute process now for me - but it is still something I have to open up the file to do. If the automatic process for commercial detection and removal was something like 10 - 15 minutes even, I would happily sacrifice some time for the convenience of not having to manually do it myself. Unfortunately, to find out is going to cost $30 just to see how it compares. I’m kind of on-the-fence regarding whether to test that scenario. On one hand it may work great … on the other it may take 30+ minutes and I would end up just going back to my manual process. Without investing $30 it is impossible to know.

My gut feeling here at this web site is the lights are on but nobody is home. No one is constructively monitoring these forums, and there are no “leaders” who are involved with development to respond to any postings here.

I repeat, I do not mind paying for software I perceive as a “good investment.” I even regularly donate to Wikipedia. But so far on this site I see little evidence of intelligent life on the part of the “development team.” Geez, Mars shows more signs of life than this site.

How do I even know if I will receive ANYTHING at all in return for the “donation”? Can anyone speak to this? After all, I get a number of email messages daily that urge me to “click here” to get the best software (or medication or something else that I neither need nor want) in return for putting $10 or $40 or $75 on my credit card!!

And I still can’t find a link to download the free version!!!

Did you try to google “MCEBuddy download” or “MCEBuddy download free version”?

I think it’s important to clarify which parts your paying for: Paying for MCEBuddy does two things: 1) obviously, it supports the ongoing development. 2) and more specifically, it gets you access to the latest release. The free version is one release behind. The current release (which just came out), does a lot around HW acceleration.

For Commercial removal, it’s done via an included program called ComSkip. It’s open source and available at Comskip Support Forum - Index page - there is another option, ShowAnalyzer, but it appears to be entirely discontinued. ComSkip is very powerful, but requires a lot of tweaking for the specifics of your local (broadcast tv, vs cablecard, etc). The default settings will help, but are not perfect. You can spend a lot of time tweaking. The purchased version of ComSkip allows it to run multi-threaded, and process WTV files directly. The multi-threading is valuable, the WTV support isn’t given MS’ discontunuation of Media Center. Hope this helps clarify. Thanks! Will.

There’s no need to pay. If you are so good at computers you should already know this.

Hvilket program bruger du til manuelt at fjerne reklamer? Jeg har ikke meget held med MCEBuddy, og jeg har betalt for det. Det fjerener kun reklamer 50% af gangen. Noget med en så høj fejlprocent er et problem, i hvert fald efter min mening.

Hej alle – husk, at programmet der fjerner reklamer, hedder ComSkip – det følger med MCEBuddy, men det er et separat program. Den standardindstillede comskip.ini fungerer ikke godt – I bør helt sikkert kigge på Comskip-forummet. Afhængigt af hvordan I modtager jeres tv-signal, skal det finjusteres.

Den eneste forskel mellem den betalte og den gratis version er, om den er multitrådet.
