Abstract:
1. A method for presenting video content during trick-mode playback, the method comprising the steps of: delivering the video content to a receiver having hard drive storage capability, wherein the video content is an advertisement to be played during a predetermined commercial spot; delivering an edit decision list having selected key frames of the video content to the receiver; selectively storing video content on the hard drive; calculating a time remaining for playback of the advertisement based on a master time table and a current playback speed of a current trick mode wherein the current trick mode is selected from a group consisting of a fast forward trick mode and a rewind trick mode and excludes forward playback at real time speed, comprising the steps of: selecting a version of the video content to be displayed during playback at the current playback speed, such that a selected version includes the selected key frames from the edit decision list; recognizing a change in the playback speed of the current trick-mode; determining the changed playback speed of the current trick mode; determining a remaining spot run time for the determined changed playback speed; selecting a substitute version of the video content that maximally fills the remaining spot run time; and playing back the substitute version of the video content.
