If you use Windows 7 Media Center to record live TV, you’re probably interested in skipping through commercials. After all, a big reason to record programs is to avoid commercials, right? Today we focus on a fairly simple and free way to get you skipping commercials in no time.

如果您使用Windows 7 Media Center录制直播电视，则可能有兴趣跳过广告。 毕竟，录制节目的一个重要原因是避免广告，对吗？ 今天，我们专注于一种相当简单和免费的方式，让您立即跳过广告。

In Windows 7, the .wtv file format has replaced the dvr-ms file format used in previous versions of Media Center for Recorded TV. The .wtv file format, however, does not work very well with commercial skipping applications. 

在Windows 7中，.wtv文件格式已替换了先前版本的Media Center for Recorded TV中使用的dvr-ms文件格式。 但是，.wtv文件格式不适用于商业跳过应用程序。

The Process

流程

Our first step will be to convert the recorded .wtv files to the previously used dvr-ms file format. This conversion will be done automatically by WtvWatcher. It’s important to note that this process deletes the original .wtv file after successfully converting to .dvr-ms. Next, we will use DVRMSToolBox with the DTB Addin to handle commercials skipping. This process does not “cut” or remove the commercials from the file. It merely skips the commercials during playback.

我们的第一步是将记录的.wtv文件转换为以前使用的dvr-ms文件格式。 WtvWatcher将自动完成此转换。 重要的是要注意，此过程在成功转换为.dvr-ms之后会删除原始的.wtv文件。 接下来，我们将使用 带有DTB插件的DVRMSToolBox可以处理广告的跳过。 此过程不会“剪切”或从文件中删除广告。 它仅在播放期间跳过广告。

如果收到无法验证的发布者警告，则可以继续并单击“安装”。 我们已经对该应用程序进行了完整的测试，它不包含恶意软件，并且可以成功运行。

After installing, the WtvWatcher will pop up in the lower right corner of your screen.

安装后，WtvWatcher将在屏幕的右下角弹出。

You will need to set the path to your Recorded TV directory. Click on the button for “Click here to set your recorded TV path…”

You will probably want to run WtvWatcher on startup. This will allow WtvWatcher too constantly scan for new .wtv files to convert.

To do so, click on Start > All Programs, right-click on Startup and click on Open all users.

您可能需要在启动时运行WtvWatcher。 这将使WtvWatcher经常扫描要转换的新.wtv文件。 应用程序中没有设置可在启动时运行，因此您需要将WTV图标从桌面复制到Windows开始菜单“启动”目录中。 为此，请单击“开始”>“所有程序”，右键单击“启动”，然后单击“打开所有用户”。
