Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for providing video data for streaming transmission to one or more remote devices. The video data may be arranged into video segments representing respective temporal portions of video content, having a given start time and duration. A plurality of versions of the same segment are provided, including a first version (130) comprising video data having the given start time and duration, and at least one variant version (132, 134, 136) in which the video data is divided into temporal sub-segments (141 -144) and in which one or more initial subsegments contain substantially no video data and the other segment(s) contain video data for the remainder of the duration. The method may comprise receiving a request to transmit to a remote device a video segment for a given time which is referenced to the start time of the segment, and transmitting a selected one of the segment versions dependent on the time reference.
