Abstract
Described is a system and method for programmatically determining credits for a video content item. By determining a point at which credits are displayed, a content provider may effectively provide supplementation information in a contextual and non-intrusive manner. In order to determine when credits are displayed, individual frames of content may be decoded and various characteristics of the individual frames may be analyzed.
