VIDEO CODE STREAM OBTAINING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of information. Disclosed are a video code stream obtaining method and apparatus, which can improve the network bandwidth utilization rate. The method comprises: first, a terminal obtaining a minimum bit rate corresponding to a parameter of the terminal; then, the terminal sending a video code stream obtaining request to a server; when the server receives the video code stream obtaining request sent by the terminal, the server sending an MPD to the terminal; and finally, the terminal receiving the MPD sent by the server, and obtaining a video code stream according to the MPD and the minimum bit rate. The embodiments of the present invention are suitable for downloading video data by a user by using a terminal.
