Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 7, further comprising:
obtaining a minimum and maximum resolution, and a minimum and maximum bit-rate, for the set of encoded video streams for ABR delivery;
wherein the determining the initial number of renditions for the set of encoded video streams further comprises:
obtaining the maximum step ratio threshold for the resolution for the set of encoded video streams, for the bit-rate for the set of encoded video streams, or for both, wherein the step ratio is the ratio between an adjacent lower rendition in the set of encoded video streams and a current rendition; and
determining the maximum number of renditions wherein, for each rendition, the step ratio for the resolution, for the bit-rate, or for both, is less than the corresponding maximum step ratio threshold; and
providing the determined maximum number of renditions as the determined initial number of renditions for the set of encoded video streams.
