I have a situation I'd like to automate with VRD, but have been unsuccessful so far. What I want to do is with my cursor set to a particular point in the video, find the next black, silent frame. This is what the ad detective does, and I'd like to take advantage of it here, but I haven't been successful doing it through the COM interface.
What I thought I might be able to do is set the ad detective parameters, do a NavigationSeekToTime, and then programmatically run the ad detective for a few seconds at a time until the length of the scene list changes. Then I'd grab the new marker and stop the scan. But so far I've been unable to get that to work. Should this work, and I've just not been successful at it, or is this approach just a lost cause? Is there another approach within VRD you might know of, or do I need to wade into ffmpeg?
Thanks!
