Abstract: Systems and methods for incorporating additional material in video content are described. Exemplary methods may include identifying the individual frames within a portion of video content that will be visible during adjusted playback. The methods may include incorporating at least one item of information within at least one of the individual frames identified to produce modified video content. The methods may also include transmitting the modified video content for display.

Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting media content from a media content receiving device such as a set-top-box to one or more user devices capable of displaying, storing or outputting the media content. The method includes receiving, at the set-top-box, media content encoded according to a particular format, embedding in the media content, while it is encoded according to the particular format, a watermark containing data identifying the set-top-box and then transmitting the watermarked media content to one or more user devices. Encoding a watermark while the content is encoded according the received format allows protection to be added and the content passed to other devices without having to decode the content first. The method may be implemented by a suitable media content receiving device operating a computer program. A corresponding apparatus for implementing the method is provided.

Abstract: A method for operating an audio/video recording device is presented. In the method, an audio/video program is delivered to an output device for display. An indication of an event not associated with a recording function of the audio/video recording device is received during delivery of the audio/video program. In response to receiving the indication, a current location within the audio/video program is marked, and the audio/video program is recorded if the program was not recorded previously. The recording of the audio/video program is delivered to the output device beginning at the marked location in the audio/video program.
