I'm not sure whom to ask - but - how do you pack messages inside porn movies?

According to CNN, Osama's boys were hiding messages inside of movies

But 'how' do you do that?

I like Jay Leno's explanation best. You simply put it toward the end
of the porn movie since no one ever watches that long.

Yep. That is how digimarc works.

However, it is possible that the presence of a particular movie on a
particular website sends a message. Instead of one if by land and two if
by sea, it might be ... crap, I don't know any porn titles. But you get
the idea.

I think in al Qaeda speak, "wedding party" meant "attack" or some
similar code scheme.

That referral was good.

It didn't say exactly how the terrorists did it but I guess they used the
technique of:

"Concealing messages within the lowest bits of noisy images or sound
files

thanks!
