Method, device, and computer program product for storing and providing video

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processing unit;
• and
• at least one memory, the at least one memory being coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions for execution by the at least one processing unit, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the electronic device to perform a method, the method comprising:
• acquiring frame storage information in a video, the frame storage information comprising information related to storage of a plurality of frames in the video;
• converting the video into a data structure comprising a plurality of data blocks based on the frame storage information,
• wherein the frame storage information is converted into a first data block among the plurality of data blocks,
• wherein the plurality of frames in the video are converted into second data blocks of the plurality of data blocks using the frame storage information in the first data block, and
• wherein, within the data structure:
• the frame storage information is included only in the first data block, and
• the second data blocks include only video or audio data of the video;
• and
• converting the frame storage information into a streaming media index file to characterize the video in association with the plurality of data blocks.
