Removing commercals from capture

[Chimera]

I have just started to get in to capturing with my tv wonder VE and wanted to know how I can remove the commercals from my capture ,
I set my program to record while I'm at work and would like to keep some things that I record , but I don't want the commercals .
IE what programs are good for doing this , and the easiest way to do this.
I'm not new to encoding , as I have been doing do for a couple of years
I know I can cut and join but I was wondering if there was a program that I can chose what parts to cut and then join them all as it's recoding the files

thx all

For just straight TV shows that I plan on keeping that way I use the wmv format and a free vcr type app "MSDVR" for capture. The wmv format compresses very small for fairly good quality. Th big plus is that I can use ASFTools which has a link in the tools section of this site to quickly cut and join the pieces together. It also has a built in conversion to avi which I haven't really tested much but works. I have not tried to make any (x))s)vcd with this method because I just store the files on cd and watch them through my TV-out card when I have the time.

If you cap to avi its a little more difficult with virtualdub to make multiple cuts and rejoin cause it uses these segmented files. I have done it but not recently. Although, its easy if you just trim the beginning and end.

For mpeg, you can use the mpeg tools available in the file menu.
