Abstract
The technology described herein relates to hybrid three pass encoding for video streaming. A method for hybrid three pass encoding may include performing a first pass encoding of a video input using a lower complexity encoder, splitting the video input into segments, performing a two pass encoding of each of the segments using a higher complexity encoder and the complexity curve generated in the first pass encoding, and outputting an encoded version of the video input. The first pass using a lower complexity encoder significantly reduces the encoding time and end-to-end encoding complexity. In some embodiments, the first pass may be performed on one of many renditions of the video input, the resulting complexity curve being used for subsequent two pass encodings of many or all renditions of the video input.
