Maybe RTL codes the sequence for some strange reason that way, that
exactly 1 picture after the 16:9/4:3 switch a new one begins... or they have 
an off-one-bug... hmmm, NO... it is not possible that a sequence can contain 
both 4:3 and 16:9 frames! Per definition... 

So,... do we maybe have an off-by-one bug which causes displaying one picture 
with a wrong aspect ratio?

BTW,...the real commercial breaks are indeed about 12(18)/2 frames away from 
the AR change (and the marker lies at +1 frame from that position)...

Yes, probabely.... but I don't want to spend a DVD to test it... ;-)

Of course,... and the letterbox bars which have to be added (for a 4:3 TV)...
