A video streaming service may include a segmentation component that provides segment metadata that indicates starting locations for a plurality of segments of video content that are produced during transcoding of the video content. The segment metadata may be sent to a first transcode server and a second transcode server to allow alignment of segmentations between the first transcode server and the second transcode server. This may allow transcoding of the video content to be seamlessly switched from the first transcode server to the second transcode server, during transmission of the video content, without causing interruption of playback. The first transcode server and the second transcode server may also operate in parallel to produce different versions of the video content, such as versions encoded using different codecs. A video player may seamlessly switch between these different codec versions without causing interruption of playback.
