Abstract: A method and system for distributing video calls includes receiving a plurality of incoming video calls originating from a corresponding plurality of calling endpoints over a data network. A corresponding plurality of first connections is formed with each of the plurality calling endpoints. Data is streamed over the plurality of first connections while the plurality of calling endpoints awaits availability of one answering endpoint. A second connection is then formed between one of the plurality of calling endpoints and the one answering endpoint to replace one of the plurality of first connections when the one answering endpoint is available.

Abstract: A method and system that allows compression software to create longer playback of computer videos and provides additional user control. A set of one or more sliced video files is generated from a script that is configured to run independently of the one or more sliced video files. The script is further configured to facilitate playback control through loading of one or more of the sliced video files. A video is generated from the one or more sliced video files and a custom loader.
