Abstract:
1. A video processing system for transcoding an input video stream using pipelined transcoders, the system comprising: a first transcoder configured to transcode the input video stream in its native video format into a first bitstream in a first video format, wherein the first transcoder comprises: a computer storage configured to reduce decoding defects in the first bitstream and to store the first bitstream having reduced decoding defects; a second transcoder coupled to the first transcoder and configured to retrieve the first bitstream having reduced decoding defects from the computer storage and to transcode the first bitstream having reduced decoding defects in the first video format into a second bitstream in a second video format, wherein the second transcoder comprises: the computer storage configured to store the second bitstream, the second bitstream in the second video format having an average bitrate for further processing; and a third transcoder coupled to the second transcoder and configured to retrieve the second bitstream from the computer storage and to transcode the second bitstream in the second video format into a third bitstream in a third video format, wherein the third transcoder comprises:
