Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing improved processing of video data. A multi-instance encoding module receives combined video and audio input, which is then separated into a video and audio source streams. The video source stream is pre-processed and corresponding video encoder instances are initiated. The preprocessed video source stream is split into video data components, which are assigned to a corresponding encoder instance. Encoding operations are performed by each video encoder instance to generate video output components. The video output components are then assembled in a predetermined sequence to generate an encoded video output stream. Concurrently, the audio source stream is encoded with an audio encoder to generate an encoded audio output stream. The encoded video and audio output streams are combined to generate a combined encoded output stream, which is provided as combined video and audio output.
