Embedded in comercial, do not copy flag? Bender 06-03-2008

I have noticed on occasion that some TV that I record stops being recorded
during a commercial. By my recollection every time the commercial is of a
newly released or soon to be released movie.
Just today I was recording a TV show and after 20 minutes it stopped being
recorded because of a do not copy flag. But a few minutes later Media Center
started recording the show again, coincidently after reviewing the Media
Center history and then deleting the history.
I reviewed the first recording and noticed that the recording stopped during
a commercial of the new Get Smart Movie.
The recording I mention here by the way is still recording, no do not copy
flag has been triggered.
I am using Vista Media Center.

Unfortunately, Media Center will honor the copy restrictions set by the
broadcaster and/or content provider. There's nothing to be done about it.

The only way around that is to use another program instead of media
center. There are quite a few and some are even free...
Media Portal comes to mind.

The show I was recording did not have the do not copy flag set, it was a
commercial shown that triggered the do not copy flag.

media center does not know it is commercial. it sees the flag and
honors it.
