A method of upgrading an encryption process for encryption of video
information from an old encryption process to a new encryption process,
consistent with certain embodiments involves selecting a portion of video
content for selective encryption. The selected portion is duplicated to
produce first and second copies of the selected portion. The first copy
is encrypted using the old encryption process and the second copy is
encrypted using the new encryption process to produce a dual partially
encrypted segment of video information that can either be broadcast over
a cable or satellite system or stored in a package medium as two program
chains.
