Disclosed are a video service apparatus and a video service method. Adaptive streaming techniques do not provide convenient content management for content providers (CP) because conversion operations such as bit rate change and transcoding have to be performed on a large number of video content. As such, the efforts of the content providers (CP) have to be doubled for adaptive streaming services, and cost- and operation efficiency-related considerations become significant, which, ultimately, can result in a problem where clients cannot be provided with high-quality video services. Proposed in the present invention is a video service technique that is capable of improving the quality of experience (QoE) of clients and utilizing wireless resources with efficiency through traffic reduction by determining the quality of video content based on network load information or available bandwidths or by providing clients with adaptive streaming type video content, adaptively managed between the clients and the content providers (CP), through change in the metadata of the video content in adaptively managing the video content between the clients and the content providers (CP).
