Abstract

See full text

Pre-rendering video thumbnails at other than macroblock boundaries may be provided. A guide experience may be provided that incorporates thumbnail videos as part of a navigation experience that may be personalized per user input. “Personalized” mosaics and video-tiles may be provided as part of the guide such that a given mosaic has an integrated look and feel. An optional guide-view may be included as part of the navigation guide. Mosaics may be defined including a plurality of thumbnails which may be available for display on the client device. Per user request, the selected video may be retrieved, scaled to dimension other than the macroblock dimension, and be fitted within a macro block that has macroblock dimensions larger than the scaled dimensions of the scaled video and be displayed. A portion of the macroblock that does not include the scaled video may be masked.
