    Media Centre records saves recordings in a file format called DV RMS.

    An application called DVRMS Toolkit will convert them to Mpeg / WMV and also strip out the ad breaks. I'm only trying it out today, but it should do the job.

    The converted files will also take up much less space than the DV RMS files.

    Latest version of DVR-MS Toolbox I believe is at this link (TGB forums) it's a good app, you can use the GUI version if your not happy with the command line one.

    The advertisement removal works really good although the convert to wmv once gave me some trouble not sure exactly what happened (generic error box) but it stopped and then worked of it's own accord.

    If you want to convert to DVD use the strip out commercials and convert to MPEG profile and that will do the business assuming you have a program to create the DVD from the MPEG file.
