Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving MPEG encoded video data from a data source; separating the MPEG encoded video data into a plurality of data segments, wherein each of the plurality of data segments is a number of consecutive encrypted data packets, and wherein each of the plurality of data segments are substantially the same size; generating a first data segmentation element for each data segment, wherein the first data segmentation element identifies a start of the associated data segment; generating a second data segmentation element for each data segment, wherein the second data segmentation element identifies an end of the associated data segment; and communicating, in a stream, each data segment and the associated first and second data segmentation elements to a destination device, wherein the first data segmentation element is a packet that immediately precedes the associated data segment in the stream, and wherein the second data segmentation element is a packet that immediately follows the associated data segment in the stream.
