MULTIPLE BIT RATE VIDEO ENCODING USING VARIABLE BIT RATE AND DYNAMIC RESOLUTION FOR ADAPTIVE VIDEO STREAMING.

摘要

A video encoding system encodes video streams for multiple bit rate video streaming using an approach that permits the encoded bit rate to vary subject to a peak bit rate and average bit rate constraints for higher quality streams, while a bottom bit rate stream is encoded to achieve a constant chunk rate. The video encoding system also dynamically decides an encoding resolution for segments of the multiple bit rate video streams that varies with video complexity so as to achieve a better visual experience for multiple bit rate streaming.
