Abstract
A method is provided for encoding a video program that includes receiving a video program to be encoded and evaluating the program with a profile is selected from among a plurality of profiles stored in a database. Each of the plurality of profiles include program attributes associated with one or more video programs and information pertaining to one or more static graphical elements that overlay content in the one or more video programs. The selected profile is applicable to the video program to be encoded. At least a portion of the video program is caused to be encoded based at least in part on the information in the selected profile. The encoded portion of the video program is evaluated to assess an accuracy of the selected profile and, based at least in part on the evaluation, a confidence level is assigned to the selected profile.
