Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for combining fragments of media content that correspond to multiple quality levels. A particular combination of fragments may be selected for a client device based, at least in part, on feedback received from the client device. In this manner, adaptive bit rate selection can be simulated for a client device that does not support adaptive bit rate selection.
