Abstract: A request for a video may be received from a client device. A determination whether to transmit the video at a first video resolution or a second video resolution based on a quality of the video at the first video resolution when converted to the second video resolution at the client device may be made. The video may be transmitted to the client device at the determined first video resolution or the second video resolution.

Abstract: Videos associated with video resolutions may be received. A first bitrate for each of the video resolutions may be identified based on a first bitrate point associated with the videos where a quality of the videos at a first video resolution that is upscaled to a second video resolution is better than a quality of the videos at the second video resolution at bitrates below the first bitrate point. The upscaling of the first video resolution may correspond to converting the videos from the first video resolution to the second video resolution at a client device. The identified corresponding first bitrate may be assigned to each of the video resolutions.

Abstract: A plurality of videos associated with a plurality of video resolutions may be received. A minimum bitrate may be identified for each of the video resolutions based on a first bitrate point associated with the videos where a quality of the videos at a first video resolution that is upscaled to a second video resolution is better than a quality of the videos at the second video resolution at bitrates below the first bitrate point. Furthermore, a maximum bitrate may be identified for each of the video resolutions based on a second bitrate point where the rate of change of the quality of the videos is below a threshold value. The identified minimum bitrates and the maximum bitrates may be assigned to the video resolutions.

Abstract: A system and method for a live streaming platform that can redundantly process input streams in parallel ingestion pipelines is disclosed herein. Ingested input streams in the parallel pipelines can be segmented using a segmentation function that creates identical segments in each of the streams in the pipelines. If errors occur, or there are disruptions in one or more of the input streams or pipelines, the live streaming platform can ensure that segments are identifiable and different parts of the pipelines can join a main stream at different points in time without disruption.

Abstract: A system to facilitate analyzing and/or processing video content using encoding logs is provided. The system includes a first analysis component, a second analysis component and a transcoding component. The first analysis component determines a first set of shot-change locations associated with a cut transition in a video sequence based on an encoding log associated with at least one previously encoded video frame. The second analysis component determines a second set of shot-change locations associated with a fading transition in the video sequence based on the encoding log associated with the at least one previously encoded video frame. The transcoding component processes the video sequence based on at least a portion of the first set of shot-change locations and the second set of shot-change locations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for border detection on videos are disclosed herein. The system can include a refinement component that updates a variable as a function of a change in line number, wherein the change in line number is ascertained in response to a change in luminance values and/or chroma values associated with a border and a video area included in a frame associated with an original video. Further, the system also includes a trimming component that, as a function of the variable, crops the border from the frame that includes the video area of the resized original video.

The method transcodes each of the video chunks to a target format in parallel based on the generated transcoding parameters. The method assembles the transcoded video chunks into a target video stream in the target format.

In one implementation, a computer system determines N frames at which to divide a video clip into N+1 consecutive chunks, where N is a positive integer, and where the frames are determined based on the image content of the video clip, a minimum chunk size, and a maximum chunk size. Each of the N+1 chunks is provided to a respective processor for transcoding, and a transcoded video clip is generated from the transcoded N+1 chunks.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for revising the time stamp information in an MPEG-2 encoded data transport stream after content in the transport stream is modified. Incoming packets are stamped with arrival times and packet sequence counts. Synchronization points within the elementary stream are identified and arrival times for those synchronization points are calculated. After elementary streams are modified, commensurate arrival times are calculated based on arrival times and packet sequence counts of incoming packets, as well as the arrival times of the identified synchronization points within the elementary stream and the bit ratio between the incoming packets and the modified outgoing packets. Calculated arrival times are stamped on the outgoing packets and used to time the output of the outgoing stream.
