auto-Advert cutter
uses average volume to predict adverts of recorded tv and cuts them out | |
Ok so its a little redundant with tivo having extra fast fast forward but TV ads are known at least in my country to have a higher volume on average than the shows themselves. Digitally recorded shows could be scanned for these higher average volume sections and cut out leaving maybe a 5 second gap on
each side
:P wouldn't be hard to get around that. chances of 5 minsish exactly (what ever it is its well defined) of explosions. The explosion, gun, what scenes would still average out to be quieter

There are advertisement filtering techniques that exist - in fact I think that adverts are tagged as such in some digital TV formats. As such, you could just use these to trigger volume regulation (or as most folk would prefer, to eliminate them altogether). |
|
| |
In the UK and Italy it is technically illegal to broadcast adverts at a higher volume than the regular programming. |
|
| |
It is also illegal to have >7% of your total transmission times output as adverts (although the law was penned before the invention of QVC 'infomercials'). |
