Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology is how it allows for efficient transferring of digital content between various types of computer systems without wasting any valuable resources. It uses advanced techniques to break down large amounts of data into smaller parts for transmission over a network with fewer resources than necessary.

Problems solved by technology

This patent discusses the challenges faced by content providers when providing content to diverse devices, especially those with varying capabilities and user preferences. These limitations make it hard to generate and handle all possible variations of content while maintaining a seamless and usability experience across different platforms. Additionally, current approaches involve sending everything through servers, making it difficult to scale up beyond what can be supported by existing technology. Therefore, there is a need for improved ways to enable effective and scalable generation of streaming content in realistic settings.

Abstract

The subject matter herein generally relates to transcoding content, typically audio/video files though not limited to such, from one version to another in preparation for online streaming or other delivery to end users. Such transcoding may involve converting from one format to another (e.g., changing codecs or container formats), or creating multiple versions of an original source file in different bitrates, frame-sizes, or otherwise, to support distribution to a wide array of devices and to utilize performance-enhancing technologies like adaptive bitrate streaming. A transcoding platform is described herein that, in certain embodiments, leverages distributed computing techniques to transcode content in parallel across a platform of machines that are preferably idle or low-utilization resources of a content delivery network. The transcoding system also utilizes, in certain embodiments, improved techniques for segmenting the original source file so as to enable different segments to be sent to different machines for parallel transcodes.
