The Netflix Tech Blog: High Quality Video Encoding at Scale
High Quality Video Encoding at Scale At Netflix we receive high quality sources for our movies and TV shows and encode them to the best video streams possible for a given member's viewing device and bandwidth capabilities. With the continued growth of our service it has been essential to build a video encoding pipeline that is highly robust, efficient and scalable. Our production system is designed to easily scale to support the demands of the business (i.e., more titles, more video encodes, shorter time to deploy), while guaranteeing a high quality of experience for our members. Pipeline in the Cloud The video encoding pipeline runs EC2 Linux cloud instances. The elasticity of the cloud enables us to seamlessly scale up when more titles need to be processed, and scale down to free up resources. Our video processing applications don't require any special hardware and can run on a number of EC2 instance types.Read full article from The Netflix Tech Blog: High Quality Video Encoding at Scale
