Abstract: An encoder for use with video data, first supplemental data, second supplemental data, and a display device. The encoder includes: a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the encoder to: generate modified video data based on an incorporation of the first supplemental data into the video data such that the supplemental video will be displayed at a predetermined location when the modified video is displayed on the display device; generate metadata associated with the predetermined location; generate an encoded transport stream including the modified video data, the metadata and the second supplemental data; and transmit the encoded transport stream to the display device so as to enable the display device to decode the encoded transport stream and display the modified video and the second supplemental video such that the second supplemental video is not displayed at the predetermined location.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate a generation of a content rating based upon user input and an insertion of the content rating into a video stream. A user interface may be utilized at a multimedia device to gather user input including a rating assigned to a piece of content by the user. The user input including the content rating may be output from the multimedia device to an upstream system over a return path. The upstream system may consolidate the received content rating with other ratings associated with the piece of content and may generate an aggregate rating for the piece of content. The aggregate rating may be inserted, as metadata, into a transport stream carrying the piece of content, and the piece of content, along with the metadata representing the aggregate rating, may be output to one or more multimedia devices.
