Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for transcoding video data based on metadata are provided. Methods for transcoding video data using meta data are provided that include receiving portions of encoded video encoded according to varying encoding schemes. The portions of encoded video can be re-encoded according to different encoding schemes. Different encoding schemes can be selected according to received metadata. The received metadata can indicate transcoding parameters for use in re-encoding portions of encoded vide. The portions of encoded video can be received from media content sources and the metadata can be received from a media metadata source. In various embodiments, the methods can be performed by a transcoding device and/or implemented via a computer readable media and at least one processing unit.
