Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to efficiently insert new breakpoints into video content. A splicing window for a first breakpoint is applied to a portion of an item of video content, wherein the portion of the item of video content has been transcoded. New subclips are generated for the portion. The portion is re-transcoded, wherein a boundary between a first subclip and a second subclip defines a location for a first breakpoint. Existing segments that can be used are identified; the existing segments associated with corresponding existing playlists. New playlists for the new subclips are generated. The new playlists and the existing playlists are transmitted to a client. Corresponding content is streamed to the client in response to client requests.
