Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for frame-accurate navigation of a media file. A multi-pass encoding application executing on a media content server encodes a set of file-based images associated with a media file using a first set of encoding parameters to generate a first encoded media file.
Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention (1) The present invention relates generally to delivering media content over computer networks and, more specifically, to frame-accurate video seeking via web browsers.
Claims
1. A computer-implemented method for encoding a first set of file-based images associated with a first media file, the method comprising: encoding the first set of file-based images using a first set of encoding parameters to generate a first encoded media file, wherein the first set of encoding parameters comprises a first encoding parameter that causes the first encoded media file to include one or more intra-coded frames (I-frames); analyzing the first encoded media file to determine one or more playback statistics; and encoding the first encoded media file using the one or more playback statistics and a second set of encoding parameters to generate a second encoded media file. ||
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to encode a first set of file-based images for frame accurate navigation, by performing the steps of: encoding the first set of file-based images via a first set of encoding parameters to generate a first encoded media file; analyzing the first encoded media file to determine one or more playback statistics; and encoding the first encoded media file using the one or more playback statistics and a second set of encoding parameters to generate a second encoded media file.
