Abstract
Techniques are proposed for embedding transition points in media content. A transition point system retrieves a time marker associated with a point of interest in the media content. The transition point system identifies a first position within the media content corresponding to the point of interest. The transition point system embeds data associated with the time marker into the media content at a second position that is no later in time than the first position. The transition point system causes a client media player to transition from a first image quality level to a second quality level based on the time marker.
