Abstract
In this paper, we present a method for predicting the transcoding time of videos given an input video stream and its transcoding parameters. Video transcoding time is treated as a random variable and is statistically predicted from past observations. Our proposed method predicts the transcoding time as a function of several parameters of the input and output video streams, and does not require any detailed information about the codec used. We show the effectiveness of our method via comparing the resulting predictions with the actual transcoding times on unseen video streams. Simulation results show that our prediction method enables a significantly better load balancing of transcoding jobs than classical load balancing methods.
