Abstract
A method for processing digital video data intended for normal mode display to obtain corresponding digital video data for trick-mode display includes modifying the normal mode digital video data to achieve a substantially uniform delivery rate to a video client. This results in smoother trick-mode playback. The modified normal mode digital video data is saved as a trick-mode file. When trick-mode playback is requested, a video-server retrieves data from the trick-mode file.
