Dividing a video into many segments and caching a certain amount of prefix data at the proxy from these segments, one prefix from each segment, are very useful mechanisms to provide interactive playback modes to the clients in a scalable streaming system. However, creating the appropriate segments and choosing an appropriate segmentation algorithm are daunting tasks. This paper proposes an on demand segmentation mechanism for scalable and interactive streaming systems. The paper also proposes that the proxy start with a non-segmented video and with a single prefix. The proxy then gradually divides a video into many segments as it receives more interactive playback requests and caches the prefixes of these new segments.
