Method and system for providing a program guide and multiple video streams using slice-based encoding

摘要

Encoding program guides and user interfaces, which may include multiple encoded videos and multiple encoded graphics, is disclosed.;The encoded videos may be combined together as an encoded composite video that is decoded to produce a display screen having each of the videos presented in a different region. Further, each one of the encoded videos may be combined with each one of the encoded graphics to form a second encoded composite video that is decoded to produce a display screen having graphic data presented in one region and a video presented in another region of the display screen.

1. A method, comprising:
decoding a first encoded video stream comprising encoded video data to produce a first video comprising a first plurality of regions, each region of the first plurality of regions comprising one of a plurality of videos; concatenating, by a computing device, at least a portion of the encoded video data with encoded graphic data to form a second encoded video stream; and decoding the second encoded video stream to produce a second video comprising a second plurality of regions, a first region of the second plurality of regions comprising a graphic generated from the encoded graphic data, and a second region of the second plurality of regions comprising one video of the plurality of videos.
