Multi-resolution Encoding for HTTP Adaptive Streaming using VVenC
March 2025 • Kashif Naseer Qureshi, Hadi Amirpour, Christian Timmerer
HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is a widely adopted method for delivering video content over the Internet, requiring each video to be encoded at multiple bitrates and resolution pairs, known as representations, to adapt to various network conditions and device capabilities. This multi-bitrate encoding introduces significant challenges due to the computational and time-intensive nature of encoding multiple representations. Conventional approaches often encode these videos independently without leveraging similarities…
