Abstract: In some embodiments, a method determines a combination of sub-bitstream chunks from a plurality of sub-bitstreams for a video. The combination of sub-bitstream chunks includes a quality measurement. The method exchanges a sub-bitstream chunk in the combination of sub-bitstream chunks with another sub-bitstream chunk from another sub-bitstream in the plurality of sub-bitstreams based on a relationship of a change in bitrate to a change in quality due to the exchanging.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives sub-bitstreams from a multi-pass transcoding process of a video. A target quality is received based on a characteristic of transcoding of the video. Then, the method generates a combination of sub-bitstream chunks from the sub-bitstreams for the video. A set of exchange rates is calculated where each exchange rate defines how much bitrate will be reduced in relation to quality if an anchor sub-bitstream chunk from the combination of sub-bitstream chunks is replaced with another sub-bitstream chunk from other sub-bitstreams. Then method iteratively exchanges one of the anchor sub-bitstream chunks in the combination of sub-bitstream chunks with another sub-bitstream chunk based on the exchange rate of the anchor sub-bitstream chunk in the combination of sub-bitstream chunks until the quality measurement of the combination meets the target quality. Then, the combination of sub-bitstream chunks is recorded as a transcoded bitstream.
