1. A method comprising:
- detecting a first scene change between a first frame and a second frame of a video signal;
selecting a selected frame in the video signal for encoding based on the scene change that is detected, the selected frame identified as a frame that occurs at least one of a first designated number of frames or a first designated time period following the scene change in the video signal;
using an encoder, encoding rights-identifying data into the selected frame of the video signal by adding the data to the video signal at the selected frame; and
determining whether an additional, second scene change occurs within at least one of the first designated number of frames, a second designated number of frames, the first designated time period, or a second designated time period from the scene chance that is identified, wherein encoding the data into the selected frame of the video signal occurs responsive to determining that the additional, second scene change not occurring within the at least one of the first designated number of frames, the second designated number of frames, the first designated time period, or the second designated time period.

Abstract
A method for modulating mark (20) within content signal (18) that has frames, where each of the frames has content lines and one or more measurable parameters, where each of the content lines has pixels, and where each of the pixels has a value, the method comprising selecting framesets from among the frames of the content signal; modulating at least two of the framesets; and causing mark (20) to be present within content signal (18) by at least modulating at least two of the framesets.

15. A method comprising:
-
detecting a first scene change between a first frame and a second frame of a video signal; selecting a selected frame in the video signal for encoding based on the scene change that is detected, the selected frame identified as a frame that occurs at least one of a first designated number of frames or a first designated time period following the scene change in the video signal; using an encoder, encoding rights-identifying data into the selected frame of the video signal by adding the data to the video signal at the selected frame; detecting a second scene change between a third frame and a fourth frame of the video signal; and encoding the data into a fifth frame of the video signal based on detecting the second scene change.
