Trick mode operation with multiple video streams

A method, comprising:

• decoding a first video stream at a first rate;
• in response to receiving a command, changing a decode rate to decode the first video stream from the first rate to a second rate and determining whether a second video stream is at a transition point, wherein the first rate is different from the second rate;
• and
• presenting one of the first video stream or the second video stream for display.

A system, comprising:

• a processor and/or circuit configured to:
• present a first video stream for display;
• in response to receiving a command, change a decode rate to decode a second video stream from a first rate to a second rate based at least in part on a determination that decoding the first video stream uses more decoder power than decoding the second video stream, wherein the second rate is different from the first rate;
• and
• present the second video stream for display while stopping displaying the first video stream.
