> Which kind of recurrence pattern are you talking about?
I am talking about really sparse pattern. e.g. nothing for a long
time, then ads inserted or program changes, and embedded bit stream
starts.
It's not that often but it happens with SCTE-20, or sloppy DVD edits
for example.

I do agree. Having the "fast but catches most" solution as an option
would be useful. I had tried to put up 3 proposals and -analyze_frames was
the only one that seemed to stick since it did not break API or make
things awkward with dispositions.

For now, -analyze_frames helps to at least make the feature workable and has
a utilitarian purpose for flexible CC probing needs.
