NEW: Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro V4
We have just launched new versions of our flagship products, Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro - which means there are also updates to our two popular Xara bundles, Xara Graphic Studio (Xtreme + Xara3D + Webstyle) and Xara Graphic Studio Pro (Xtreme Pro + Xara3D + Webstyle).
The updates to both products are significant and initial reactions from the press and customers are extremely positive, so this is a good time to take a new look at Xara . Click here.

Commercial Skip Add-in as part of the install. Reboot after this, and then make sure the rest of your setup is correct. That’s it!
Start playing a Recorded TV program and Media Center will give you a prompt about Commercial Skip. Say Yes to process it and before the first commercial (in most cases, generally takes 5-8 minutes) the show will be entirely processed and skip over the commercials without any fast forwarding. For newly recorded shows, FileWatcher runs in the background and automatically runs ComSkip on the files. So the next day you go to watch them, the ComSkip scanning has already happened.
If you are in Vista, remember to read Mike’s article on getting Commercial Skip working. Both are free, although donations for both are well worth it. ComSkip Donations & DVRMSToolbox Donations.
And remember, DVRMSToolbox does so much more! Convert to WMV, Convert to MPEG, Sync to PocketPC’s, etc.
So, have you tried out DVRMSToolbox and are you using Commercial Skip? If not, what exactly are you waiting for?

I’ve been looking for years for great Graphics software, but most of the software is very complicated to use so this will turn you off from doing any graphics work. Some other software is complicated AND expensive, such as Adobe Photoshop.
Xara Extreme is the software I just absolutely LOVE. It works well, is easy to use and in my mind more powerful and faster than Adobe Photoshop. Check it out for yourself on XARA’s web site
