Comskip for Mac M chips with ffmpeg6

Playground Hacks
#1

Hello,
I created comskip build for M1/2 Macs (tested on Ventura) that uses ffmpeg6. As far as I observed it works without problems, however large portion of the code needs to be rewritten as it uses lot of deprecated functions from mpeg2dec.

My next challenge could be:

  1. Rewrite tool in Swift with native GUI and drop SDL dependency.
  2. Create complete new tool that is able to detect commercials using Apple's machine learning system.

Anyone who wants to try check on GitHub
there is also binary release to download.
