Well doesn't the MPEG2 stream contain some kind of timecode? mplayer 
displays one when playing vdr files. Then we might export edit marks onto 
a server.

We might get a database of "edit-points". Or points in general. So we have 
points where we know something started, and points telling "at this time 
there was a commercial running".

So for a commercial we would have up to 3 points.
1. edit-point (start of recording)
2. info-point (commercial running)
3. edit-point (end of recording)

So if I should somehow notice I'm in the middle of a commercial break, I 
simply press a button and set an info-point. If I should notice a 
transition between commercials and redactional programming, I can also 
press a button.

BTW, would it be possible to list all edit-points in replay/edit mode so 
it's easier to delete them?
