Re: [V4L] Automatically cutting commercials

[Robert Siemer]

Hi again!

Generally: what I can detect, a program can detect. (:  Okay, this is
a very hard task.

In Germany I usually can see some hints:
-no station logo (usually upper left corner) during ads
-ads are louder
-the ads during a block are separated with a blank screen
-they are announced with a "movie-jingle" carring the letters
 "Werbung" ("ad") somewhere
-meta infos: -length of an ad is something of n*5 sec.
             -the block is about 7 min.
             -max. one block in 30 min.

Example:
  -stealthy fade-out of the station logo while the movie is playing
  -"movie-jingle" (1-2 sec.). Every broadcaster has ~10 different
   jingles/month.
  -black screen (~0.5 sec.)
  -ad (n*5 sec.)
  -black, ad, black, ad...
  -program info (trailer... --> "watch XYZ today 20.15...")
   I don't know much of the characteristics of these
  -movie again; sometimes 30 sec. repeated (stretches the film -->
   more ads allowed...)



Bye,
        Robert
