Culture the product. If it shows growth, it's 'live'. Or, more simply, look at the label; if its been pasteurized, the culture's dead.

Does freezing yogurt kill the live cultures?

Yes and no. Not all yogurts are created equal. Freezing yogurt does not destroy the cultures. Frozen yogurt with the Live and Active Cultures (LAC) seal will have at least 10 million live and active cultures per gram of yogurt at the time of manufacture. However, the LAC seal program is voluntary, so some frozen yogurts without the seal may also contain active cultures.

If you left the yogurt maker plugged in making yogurt for 20 hr instead of the recommened 8 will it be ok to eat?

Yogurt contains active cultures. The yogurt maker gives these cultures a nice warm fuzzy environment to grow, reproduce, and feed. In the refrigerator after finished being made, these cultures are retarded, which means they respirate very slowly. What these cultures are doing is eating the lactose of the milk, and producing lactic acid as a by-product. The longer you run the machine, the more lactic acid is produced, the more tangy it will become, and the thicker your yogurt will be. It really depends on your taste, if you enjoy a very tangy yogurt, then try some. If you don't like it, you can use it as a starter and try again!
