DISTRIBUTED CONTROL OF VIDEO ENCODING SPEEDS

摘要

Video encoding operation is performed in a distributed video encoding system to meet a service layer agreement such as a target time for completion of the video encoding operation. Each of multiple videos being encoded is split into smaller jobs corresponding to video segments of the videos. The jobs are processed according to a job queue. The sequence of jobs in the job queue is periodically updated such that jobs corresponding to each video are processed within the corresponding target encoding time.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, implemented at a server in a distributed network of servers, comprising:
receiving at least a portion of a video; splitting the portion into multiple video segments; submitting the multiple video segments to a video encoding pipeline that includes segments from at least one other video, wherein the video encoding pipeline operates to issue video segments to encoding nodes for video encoding in a priority order; and adjusting a number of video segments sent to the video encoding pipeline based on encoding performance.
