I get my ads from DCM and for the Terminator 4 film they gave me 20 adverts. 13.52secs long i recall being the owner too that they said i never get more than 14 mins of adverts. But woe and behold there was the "Guitar Hero Metalica" advert put in that was not on the list. Is this a common thing happening?

Sometimes you do get adverts in sets that are not listed. This is either because they're late additions and/or someone has made a mistake. In these cases it's best to contact the suppliers and confirm whether it's meant to be in there or not. Adverts do get audited and there's always potential for trouble if something is missing or not meant to be there.
Our ad sets last week were ridiculously long too.

So you get your ad's already put together? ready to run? Gee, we have to move individual ad's from film to film every week. Then put them back in the original film the week after. Very annoying.

I would be happy in your situation and not care about an extra ad'. Just call them if you're concerned - they'd have a better idea than us, who would probably be guessing anyway.

Soooooooo glad we're digital ads now.

I hate rolling-stock ads with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns.

Many thanks Scott
Yes we get out ads already set for a certain film but you still have to chack them before you add it to a film because some ads are put in tail out.
