On some US TV channels the commercial breaks are timed. As in, they start at A, B, and C time and end at X, Y, and Z time. Perhaps that will work for your needs.
Alternatively, you could combine several approaches and write a basic identification guessing engine and then pass the cut clip to the user for approval/disapproval. Another thing to take into consideration is that normally theres a marked volume decrease before a commercial break on US TV. People stop talking and events stop happening. This doesn't apply to really old shows because they insert more and more commercial breaks, but for anything slightly recent it would work. Overall, it seems you'll have to double check whatever method of commercial detection you choose to use. This will save you time, but not a huge amount.
