    if there’s a client rendered element(such as a pop up box that can be clicked) it’s detectable

    Neat, I’d never thought of that part. Usually when this topic is brought up, people talk about downloading the video multiple times and then diffing them to find the (presumably changing) commercials, but that’s a much simpler way. And it’s not as if they’d want an ad you can’t click on, so there’s no good countermeasure to it.
