| Issue 89: | mencoder called before comskip has completed | |

What Version of iTiVo? 1.7.2 What Version of MacOS X? 10.5.6 What download format did you select? Decrypt/Copy + Remove Commercials What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Select Decrypt/Copy 2. Enable Commercial Skip 3. Download a 30 minute show Please provide any additional information below. I checked Activity Monitor, and the comskip process continued to run long after mencoder was called. I think that this may be causing many of the problems people are having where a very short and invalid file is created. Perhaps some additional checking can be added to the applescript to ensure that comskip has actually completed.

Maybe it's related to the size of the show, or the bitrate for that matter. I have only run into this for HD shows.

I'm increasing the timeout to 5 minutes on the next release (so hopefully it will not timeout this time). I'm also going to change the behavior so if it times out on a commercial cut, it will ignore ALL cuts and use the original instead (just in case the file that it DOES have has bad cuts in it). I'm holding off on releasing this until I can get some more code changes in first for other stuff though.

Thanks Yoav. I like your idea to use the original if the commercial cut fails.

Ok, download the latest beta and see if it fixes the problem?

Yoav, This is working correctly for me now. Thanks for the update! I tried to closed the defect, but don't see a way to do that.
