1. A method, comprising:
dividing, using a computing system, a live media content stream into two or more segments, each segment comprising a starting segment boundary and an ending segment boundary;
encoding, using one or more primary encoders of the computing system, the two or more segments of the live media content stream into one or more primary adaptive bitrate streams;
dividing, using the computing system, the two or more segments of the live media content stream into two or more subsegments, wherein each subsegment is less than a length of a corresponding segment of the two or more segments, and wherein at least one subsegment of the two or more subsegments overlaps a next starting segment boundary of a next segment of the two or more segments; and
encoding, using one or more secondary encoders of the computing system, at least one subsegment of the two or more subsegments into one or more secondary adaptive bitrate streams.
