  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE TRANSCODING OF MULTIMEDIA STREAM
    Publication number: 20140208374
    Abstract: A method of streaming an output content stream adaptively transcoded from a corresponding input content stream includes offering, to a client device, a number of alternative versions of the output content stream, for selection by the client device, and dividing the input content stream into two or more segments. Prior to the offering step at least a first segment of the input content stream is transcoded into at least one corresponding segment of an output content stream corresponding to at least one version from the number of alternative versions offered to the client device. Upon receiving a request from the client device for a selected version of the output content stream, streaming is begun with using a first one of the at least one corresponding segments of an output content stream corresponding to at least one version from the number of alternative versions offered to the client device that had been transcoded and stored prior to offering.
