Multicast Video-on-Demand (VoD) has excellent performance, but it is very difficult to equip such a system with full support for interactive VCR functions. In this paper, we propose a new scheme, called the Best-Effort Patching (BEP), that offers a TVoD service in terms of both request admission and VCR interaction for multicast VoD system. Moreover, by using a novel dynamic merging algorithm, BEP significantly improves the efficiency of TVoD interactivity, especially for popular videos. Our extensive simulation results show that BEP outperforms the conventional multicast TVoD interaction protocols.
