Instant Per-Title Encoding
The text discusses adaptive bitrate streaming and its importance in modern online video due to varying user bandwidths. It mentions that static encoding ladders are inherently wrong as videos vary widely in complexity and require different encoding approaches. Netflix's Per-Title Encoding Optimization is mentioned, which requires significant engineering time and investment but offers a 20% reduction in bitrates. The text introduces Instant Per-Title Encoding, a machine learning-based solution that analyzes video frames to output the right encoding ladder quickly and accurately. It also mentions that Mux Video provides this optimization at a fraction of the cost compared to running it yourself.
