Abstract
A system for seamlessly splicing two encoded video streams. In one implementation of the system, one or more coding parameters are extracted from the first and/or second encoded streams and one or more parameters of the first and/or second encoded streams are changed in accordance with the extracted parameter(s) in order to effectuate seamless splicing. In another implementation, the coding parameters applied to the first encoded stream are referenced when encoding the second stream such that the resulting second encoded stream can be seamlessly spliced with the first encoded stream.
