  • Patent number: 11553188
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for two-phase encoding a digital video based on downsampling distortion of the digital video and a constant rate factor transition threshold. For example, the disclosed system can determine a downsampling distortion indicating a measure of distortion resulting from downsampling an input digital video. The disclosed systems can utilize the downsampling distortion to determine a constant rate factor transition threshold for selecting sets of encoding parameters. For example, the disclosed systems can select a first set of encoding parameters below the constant rate factor transition threshold and a second set of encoding parameters at or above the constant rate factor transition threshold. Additionally, the disclosed systems can generate first and second sets of digital video encodings of the input digital video by utilizing the first and second sets of encoding parameters, respectively.
