A content delivery service that facilitates the selection of virtual machine instances utilized to implement the transcoding function. A management service first implements a test channel configuration routine that selects worst case scenario configurations for implementing the transcoding function and measures performance metrics for different virtual machine instances implementing the transcoding function. The management system can then match incoming requests for video channel transcoding with signature data from the test channel configurations to identify which virtual machine instances can implement the requested transcoding functionality.

Managing transcoding resources in content delivery systems by comparing signatures of transcoding requests with signatures of test channel configurations

Techniques for accommodating irregular timing information in streamed media data are described. According to some embodiments, at least a portion of a media stream that includes a video component is received, the video component including a plurality of video frames and video timing data, and wherein the media stream includes an indication of a video frame rate. A first duration of a first video frame of the plurality of video frames is determined to be different than an expected video frame duration, wherein the expected video frame duration is based at least in part on the indication of the video frame rate. A timestamp of at least one video frame of the plurality of video frames is adjusted to change the first duration.

Accommodating irregular timing information in streamed media data

A content streaming system and methodology for facilitating the management of content streaming. A content delivery service receives streaming content that is encoded according to an encoding profile. The content delivery service decodes the received encoded content and encodes the decoded content according to a plurality of encoding profiles. Additionally, the content delivery service reuses the received encoded content stream from the content provider.
