I wonder how long it will take networks to band together and come up with new standards like fade to black and cc - thus making it harder for programs to detect commercials, wonder if there is something in this bill preventing them from doing so.

My local CBS already does a fade from 5 second news spot to the show. That's a sound and video fade that is quite literally impossible to detect as a boundry.Jere

I would think if you can dectibe it so simply that you could detect it. Not as easily as a simple black frame I'm sure, but with some characteristic. Now cross fading would be impossible, but probably highly unattractive as well.

That's what I meant to say.

There are at least 10 frames that have a mixture of sound and video from NUM3ERS and the local news spot. I'll find a way... I'm sure of it.

Somehow the copyright holders are OK with the impact that has on "artistic integrity"...
