Enhancement request: It would be great if iTivo had an option to also pass the mpeg2 file through comskip or similar before giving it to mencoder. I've hacked up a proof of concept that shows it is possible and works rather well.

Not trivial but you'll find it is easier than you might initially think. Comskip wants to process the mpeg2 file to produce an edl skip list. Mencoder can then take that edl file as input to the encoding process to skip the commercials during encode. In my proof of concept I rewrote your download.pl and download2.pl to do the download and convert. (Aside, tivodecode has a test feature to generate optional XML files that contain richer show metadata than you can get just from the tivo show list XML) Then download3.pl would run comskip to generate the edl file and pass it as an extra argument to the encoding phase. I'm happy to handle the perl side if you can get the AppleScript UI feature added. Let me know.
