Methods and systems for processing content

Exemplary embodiments of methods and apparatuses to detect and process a repeating content are described. The repetition in the content is determined. Then the repeating content is identified thereby providing the ability to remove or to not present the repeating content. The repeating content may be removed while the information about the repeating content is preserved. An identified repeating content may be used to identify the repeating content in other content. Segments in the content are allocated. The segments are processed to yield an identifier for each of the segments. Identifiers in a sequence of the segments are compared with the identifiers in the sequence of the segments that have been processed. The repeating portion in the content is identified as a repeating content if the identifiers in the sequence of the segments match with the identifiers in the sequence of the segments that have been processed.
