Abstract

Systems and methods for distributing, receiving, and playing a video in multiple rating formats are disclosed herein. A storage component stores video segments of a video, wherein different rating formats of at least one of the video segments are available for streaming to a streaming component. An identification component determines a desired rating format for the at least one of the video segments and a selection component selects and requests a subset of the video segments to be streamed based in part on the desired rating format. The streaming component then receives the subset of the video segments of the video.
