CONTENT-ADAPTIVE CHUNKING FOR DISTRIBUTED TRANSCODING

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for transcoding a video clip. In one implementation, a computer system determines N frames at which to divide a video clip into N+1 consecutive chunks, where N is a positive integer, and where the frames are determined based on the image content of the video clip, a minimum chunk size, and a maximum chunk size. Each of the N+1 chunks is provided to a respective processor for transcoding, and a transcoded video clip is generated from the transcoded N+1 chunks.

1. A method of transcoding a video clip, the method comprising:
determining, by a computer system, N frames of the video clip at which to divide the video clip into N+1 consecutive chunks, wherein N is a positive integer, and wherein the determining is based on image content of the video clip, a minimum chunk size, and a maximum chunk size; providing each of the N+1 chunks to a respective processor for transcoding; and generating a transcoded video clip from the transcoded N+1 chunks.
