1. A method, comprising:
receiving, with a computing system, a media content stream;
encoding, using one or more first encoders, a first segment of the media content stream into a first adaptive bitrate stream, wherein the first segment comprises a starting segment boundary and an ending segment boundary;
generating, with the computing system, one or more subsegments from the first segment of the media content stream, wherein each subsegment is less than a length of the first segment; and
encoding, using one or more second encoders, the one or more subsegments into one or more second adaptive bitrate streams, wherein an ending subsegment boundary of the one or more subsegments overlap a next starting segment boundary of a next segment of the media content stream, wherein the next segment of the media content stream starts at the ending segment boundary of the first segment.
