The disclosed invention is a enhancement to the Video Encoder component of the MPEG standard to improve both the efficiency and quality of the video presentation at the display device. The inventions described below pertain to the enhancement of video compression technology. In general, they are compatible with MPEG video standards (as in current art), but represent novel enhancements thereof. The above inventions apply to several transmission media and networks including cable, DSL, wireless, satellite and IP networks. Another category of invention in this disclosure enhances networking performance by recognizing that the transmitted information is video, rather than data. This invention can be scaled to other classes of multimedia data such as speech or audio or images.

Efficient compression and transport of video over a network

Provided are methods and systems for substituting programs within an existing multi program transport stream (MPTS). Methods can include identifying a first packet associated with a first input program, determining if the first packet is a packet to be replaced, substituting a second packet for the first packet if the first packet is the packet to be replaced, and applying a timestamp at the stream processor to the second packet with a time for the second input program.

Methods and systems for substituting programs in multiple program MPEG transport streams

Methods and systems for integrated transcoding on a plurality of data channels to convert one or more data channels from an incoming encoding format to an outgoing encoding format are disclosed.

Integrated transcoding

Provided is an enhancement to the Video Encoder component of the MPEG standard to improve both the efficiency and quality of the video presentation at the display device.

A method for content delivery comprising transmitting content via a first network to a content aggregation point and transmitting the content from the content aggregation point via a second network to a receiver at the request of the receiver. A system for content delivery comprising a content provider, a content aggregation point operatively coupled to the content provider via a first network wherein the content aggregation point receives content from the content provider, and a receiver operatively coupled to the content aggregation point via a second network wherein the receiver is configured to request content from the content aggregation point. Also disclosed are methods for improving the network functionality through in-band measurement of network statistics, multi-constraint based QoS routing, and back up path determination.

Network architecture for real time delivery of video over lossy networks from remote locations
