Abstract

Electronic information defining visual content within video frames for playback may be accessed. The electronic information may be divided into electronic information parts defining separate temporal segments of the visual content. Headers may be generated and appended to the electronic information parts. The headers may include locators indicating locations of video frames in the electronic information parts. Two or more of the electronic information parts may be combined into combined electronic information. The combined electronic information may include a combine header. The combined header may include locators indicating locations of video frames in the combined electronic information.
