(I've not been checking out the last couple of weeks for fear of the giant flood of patches that got applied, I think it's now pretty stable.)
I did like the other suggestion we saw here, that the OSD's display-bar be coloured or marked with the cutlist and/or commercial skip list, as well as of course the cursor and the not-yet-recorded segment. Flashing that up with the OSD on every commercial skip and other move would give a much greater sense of the commercial layout and provide a much more robust system. Misreads by the commercial skip heuristics would become obvous and less troublesome. Of course, this is a different piece of code, not nearly so simple a change as those above.
