A composite video including a plurality of videos in a single stream is sent from a video streamer server to a client, where it is presented on an electronic display. A user may make a selection in the composite video that is translated to an absolute media reference that may include information identifying which video of the composite video was selected, an absolute media time identifying an elapsed time from the beginning of the video to the selection, and/or an absolute media spatial coordinate identifying a spatial location of the video that was selected. Auxiliary information related to the composite video may be obtained based on the selection and the absolute media reference and displayed to the user.

Auxiliary information data exchange within a video environment

In some embodiments, a video (e.g. MPEG-2, H.264) transcoder channel pool is used to transcode multiple independent videos (programs) per channel substantially concurrently. A syntactically-unified combined input video stream is assembled by interleaving segments of different input video streams. The combined stream may be a container stream or elementary stream. Each segment includes one or more groups of pictures (GOP). The combined stream includes the payload video data of the input streams in unmodified form, and modified header data characterizing the combined stream as a single video stream. The combined input stream is transcoded using a single transcoder channel/input port to generate a combined output video stream. Multiple independent output video streams are assembled by de-interleaving segments of the combined output video stream according to stored interleaving break identifiers. Assembling the output video streams includes updating output video stream header fields according to stored header field data.

Video transcoder stream multiplexing systems and methods

A method and system for audio selection is disclosed. Multiple active videos are rendered in a single video stream and the multiple active videos are simultaneously displayed on a client machine. A user selects a video from among the multiple active videos for which associated audio is presented. As the user selects different videos the previous audio is stopped and the new audio is played. The new audio is synchronized to the selected video.

Audio selection from a multi-video environment

A video streamer aggregates multiple videos into a single video stream for delivery to a client to be displayed. The multiple videos are active to allow motion of the multiple videos to be shown. The multiple videos are part of an electronic program guide. Additional information related to one or more of the videos may be obtained and displayed by the client. One of the videos may be selected to be enlarged and/or have audio from that video played.
