Abstract
A method of video encoding is provided to reduce the cost of network DVR storage by building on a concept of Just-In Time (JIT) transcoding which eliminates storing all formats of content in a DVR. A super-encoding procedure is provided that encodes a high resolution format, such as HEVC, while metadata is provided for lower resolution formats, such as MPEG4. The metadata can include items like motion vectors to reduce the computational costs during JIT transcoding. The super-encoded data is stored in memory of the DVR. High resolution encoded data is read directly out of the DVR memory, while lower resolutions are transcoded from the DVR memory data using the metadata to increase efficiency.
