SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCODING TRICK PLAY STREAMS FOR PERFORMING SMOOTH VISUAL SEARCH OF MEDIA ENCODED FOR ADAPTIVE BITRATE STREAMING VIA HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL

摘要

Systems and methods for performing smooth visual search of media encoded for adaptive bitrate streaming using trick play streams are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention includes transcoding a selected portion of the source video into a portion of trick play stream video for inclusion in a trick play stream using the source encoder, where the portion of trick play stream video is encoded at a lower frame rate and a lower resolution than the source video, writing the trick play stream to a separate container file using the source encoder, and adding an entry to an index that identifies the location of each frame in the portion of trick play stream video within the container file containing the trick play stream.
