This method involves fetching a high-quality I-frame and splicing it into the already downloaded low-quality segment, resulting in a higher-quality rendering at a lower overhead than replacing the entire low-quality segment. In our experiments with three videos and four quantization parameters, the results show that the bandwidth can be saved up to 87% while still increasing the peak signal-to-noise ratio score by 20% and the video multi-method assessment fusion score by 73%. In the demo, we demonstrate the visual differences between the original and spliced videos.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject11912200103719610002410.1109/QoMEX58391.2023.10178447ABRBandwidth savingDASHFast switching2-s2.0-85167339469
