Abstract

Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for frame-accurate navigation of a media file. A multi-pass encoding application executing on a media content server encodes a set of file-based images associated with a media file using a first set of encoding parameters to generate a first encoded media file.

Background

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to delivering media content over computer networks and, more specifically, to frame-accurate video seeking via web browsers.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for navigating a media file, the method comprising: incrementing a first frame number of a target video frame of the media file by a predetermined value associated with an amount of time between two consecutive video frames in the media file to determine a second frame number; converting the second frame number into a first time code; and accessing the target video frame based on the first time code. || 10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to perform steps for navigating a media file, the steps comprising: incrementing a first frame number of a target video frame of the media file by a predetermined value; converting the second frame number into a first time code; and accessing the target video frame based on the first time code. || 19. A system, comprising: one or more memories storing instructions; and one or more processors that are coupled to the one or more memories and, when executing the instructions, are configured to: increment a first frame number of a target video frame of a media file by a predetermined value to determine a second frame number, convert the second frame number into a first time code, and access the target video frame based on the first time code.
