VS:SVC

H.264/SVC Scalable Streams Management System

Overview

A complete system for structuring, encoding, adapting, streaming, storing, and transcoding of video streams encoded by the state-of-the-art H.264/SVC coding standards.

Ideas

• We want to create a system and/or API for handling SVC streams.

• Enhance our previous works in ToM 2008: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mhefeeda/Papers/tom08.pdf

• We want to demonstrate the benefits of the system for the administrators (ease and efficiency) and users (quality)

• Need to explore market needs and interest. What are the current practices for managing many video streams?

• Who can benefit from the system? VoD Systems, YouTube, Google Videos, CBC ...
