That's cool Craig. I was thinking of using ffmpeg to analyse the 
recording in a similar way to what you have done in your script. Couple 
of things: TV3 has an AC3 audio track that I use without transcoding 
(might not matter in your application) and it looks like the end of some 
of the script lines have been clipped off.
