Thanks for the explanations!
OK, now, that's cool! That means I don't have to worry about starting a new segment of the show on a key frame. Encoding black frames should be trivial and not visible.
Even better!
With the added support in Channels, I think it's a no brainer!
Thanks. You have convinced me to try it! 
Also, in VideoReDo, if you enable thumbnails, there is a audio waveform of sorts below the video thumbnail that will tell you if audio is silent or not. I usually just advanced to the next or previous i-frame with silent audio to mark my commercial cut.
Nice. Thank you for the tip!
Bonus point: it even creates chapter markers at the cut points! This is something I usually do manually using MKVToolNix.
After using on just two movies, I love it!
Transitions are beautiful, exactly what I want.
I turned on the option to generate the vprj files from Channels and life is great.
I'm sold on VideReDo.
Thanks!
Congrats!
Best advice I can offer a new user is to save your settings when you make changes.
Tools>Options>Start up>Settings>Save
There is a way to tell which settings/options have been changed from default, but best to keep a change log (simple text file) next to your saved settings files explaining why you changed it. I've made so many changes over the years, I forget why I made the changes because I didn't do that.
For navigating (I'm a keyboard shortcut user) I like using <Ctrl>-Left/Right Arrow keys to scrub through a video by I-frames.
Thank you. Great tips.
