With this finding, we documents across the Internet. This leads to wide interest in multi- media security and multimedia copyright protection. We propose propose a hybrid watermarking scheme based on scene change a novel hybrid digital video watermarking scheme based on the analyze and error correction codes [8]. scene change analysis and error correction code.

Due to a large amount of data ping, averaging and statistical analysis, which were not solved ef- and inherent redundancies between frames, video signals are fectively in the past. We start with a complete survey of current watermarking technologies, and noticed that none of the existing highly susceptible to piracy attacks, including frame averaging, schemes is capable of resisting all attacks. Accordingly, we pro- frame dropping, frame swapping, statistical analysis, etc [4]. pose the idea of emb
