<body>Is there a way that the MPEG2 TrickPlay stream that is generated can be generated in a way so that it will be streamed at the same bitrate as in normal playback mode?<BR>
<BR>
The reason being is that we're testing with HD MPEG2 video streams (~20 Mbs) on a Moto/Sigma STB. The stream is being delivered over UDP. Playing back in normal mode is fine; however, once trickplay is initiated the STB is unable to handle the higher bitstream. I've tested this with a Kasenna VOD server with the same file and the STB plays the trickplay stream back correctly. When I sniffed the network I noticed that their TrickPlay stream is being sent at the same bitrate as the normal play stream. I did modify the delivery time of the trickplay stream (packets) to be sent at the same rate as the normal playback - however, in this case I just got a black screen, which I'm assuming it had something to do with the timestamps.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas on the best approach that I could achieve this? <BR>

Thanks,<BR>
