Optionally save the full recording, with a file that contains timestamps for commercial begin-commercial end (Maybe recording_name.comskip, or a centralized database that’s got some form of redundancies in case the db gets corrupted, or both), and add an option to the player to use this file to try to ‘intelligently’ skip commercials during playback. It would sacrifice space for the assurance that the whole recording is there.
