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.

Claim (Index 18):
The distributed computing system of  claim 17 , wherein the requested transcoding process comprises changing one or more characteristics of the file, the one or more characteristics comprising any of: a codec used to encode data in the file, a container format of the file, one or more encoding parameters, container format parameters, a bit-rate of encoded data in a file, an image resolution for data in a file, a frame size for data in a file, an aspect ratio for data in a file, a compression setting used to encode data in a file, an audio setting, a color space, and, an interlacing characteristic for data in a file.
