<font size=3>In a typical hour show, you have 20 minutes of commercials
and 40 minutes of show. So in 30 minutes you should have in or
around 10 minutes of commercials. The automatic commercial flagging
does about an 85% job but it misses some stuff. You really need to
go over it manually. <br><br>
So, I am assuming that you are not going over it manually and are relying
on automatic flagging. If true you should read up on this. In
summary, you go into edit mode with the "E" command while
watching the recording, "Z" to load the cut list, and other
various keys to set and reset the cut points. Once you have the
cuts the way you want them, you get out of edit and go to play by
pressing "E" again and then kick off the transcode by pressing
"X". For an hour show the transcode should complete
in about 5-10 minutes. You should not have to have nuv lying around
and should be able to stay completely in mpeg. <br><br>

I have the keep the originals after transcoding option on so the .old
file is the<br>
original. This was a 30 minute show that was ~22 minutes after cutting.

Thanks in advance,<br>
