Claim 19:
20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 16, wherein the program instructions cause the automated ABR encoding system to further perform:
obtain a minimum and maximum resolution, and a minimum and maximum bit-rate, for the set of encoded video streams for ABR delivery;
wherein to determine the initial number of renditions for the set of encoded video streams, the program instructions cause the automated ABR encoding system to further perform:
obtain the maximum step ratio threshold for the resolution, for the bit-rate, or for both, wherein the step ratio is the ratio between the adjacent lower rendition in the set of encoded video streams and the current rendition; and
determine the maximum number 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
provide the determined maximum number of renditions as the determined initial number of renditions for the set of encoded video streams.
