Content Adaptive Encoding improves the video quality while significantly reducing bitrate (or filesize) depending on the content’s complexity.

Low-complexity, low-delay Content Adaptive Encoding can help transcode VOD and Live Video. Different presets for different screen sizes can help achieve good quality video and bit rate savings across various display sizes.

Content Adaptive Encoding provides stable, high-quality, low-complexity, and bandwidth-optimized solutions for VOD and live applications in E-Shopping, OTT, Gaming, EdTech, and other video streaming applications.

Having a high speed transcoding setup can significantly reduce the time it takes to process and output a finished video which can help improve workflow efficiency and ensure faster turnaround times for clients or customers.

Various methods and approaches are available to speed up the transcoding process. The methods have some advantages and certain limitations.

Chunk-based CAE transcoding not only speeds up the transcoding process but also helps to achieve high quality along with Content Adaptive transcoding with savings video bandwidth up to 70%.

With Chunk-based CAE, the processing speed for H.264/AVC coding for 1080P video is 10x real-time, which can be achieved without compromising quality. With smaller segments, the processing time can be further reduced.

This article will explore the key differences between AVC and HEVC and how they impact video quality, bandwidth, and file size. Please note that the FFmpeg implementation of x264 (for AVC) and x265 (for HEVC) is used for this observation.
