MULTIPLE STREAM VIDEO COMPRESSION IN MULTIPLE BITRATE VIDEO ENCODING

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to reduce the number of video streams or increase the quality of delivered video with the same number of video streams in a multiple bitrate video encoding. Multiple video resolutions and/or frame rates can be combined into a single stream. In embodiments, optimal segments from a plurality of input streams can be selected for inclusion in an output stream based upon a range of acceptable quantization parameter values for the output stream and a quality characteristic associated with the optimal input stream.
