A system, method, and computer program product are provided for segmenting videos in a video hosting service. To determine segments related to timestamps, user generated comments are parsed for timestamps. The timestamps are organized into sets and a segment is identified for each set of timestamps. A start point for each segment is determined based on the timestamps in each set. The segment will have an endpoint that can be either the end of the itself, or optionally can be determined based on the timestamps. Each timestamp is associated with a segment. One or more indicators represent each timestamp and each indicator is coupled to the segment associated with timestamp represented by the indicator. The segments are ranked according to popularity or the submission time of their related timestamp indicators. Responsive to receiving a client request for a video, the comments, indicators, and segments are loaded to the client. |

1. A computer-implemented method for serving videos to clients, the videos having segments based on timestamps, the method comprising:
identifying, by a computer, one or more comments about a video, the comments provided by a plurality of users and including timestamps; providing, by the computer, both a first data stream and a second data stream to a client, the first data stream including the video in its entirety, and the second data stream including a plurality of segments of the video; providing the comments about the video and the included timestamps to the client for display with the video; receiving a selection from the client of one of the included timestamps; and responsive to receiving the selection, transmitting to the client, via the secondary data stream, a segment that is associated with the selected timestamp, the transmitted segment displayed from a start point of the segment to an end point of the segment. |
