Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for transcoding video files on a server such that they can be streamed to a client device in substantially real-time. The server receives a video file a uses a prediction algorithm to predict each video frame's size based on encoding and streaming parameters associated with the input file and an output stream and transcoding each video frame. If a transcoded frame is too large, it is compressed further, if it is too small, the video file is padded. As such, each video frame transcoded or padded until the encoded frame is the same size as a predicted size. The transcoded frames are streamed to a client device to enable the client to device to playback the video after requesting it from the server.
