Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for streaming video data to a user. In one implementation, the video includes first video data and second video data. The user is allowed to fast-forward the first video data but is not allowed to fast-forward the second video data. The first video data is stored on a first member of data storage and the second video data is stored on a second member of the data storage. In one implementation, a module is operable to read the video data from a first and a second portion of a virtual partition, and to refuse a request to fast-forward any video data stored on the second portion.
