Abstract

Currently, one of the main problems facing the video broadcast on the Internet is the limitation of the available bandwidth. The media elements contain a large number of multiplexed data and its encoding is necessary for a smooth issuance through the new Application Programming Interface (API) in HTML5 or through third-party plugins. Internet offers a wide compatibility with many formats and video codecs, but its emission focuses specifically on the three main ones: MPEG-4, Ogg and WEBM. In this paper, we study different encodings of a video depending on the bitrate and the encoding time. This study will allow us to know the characteristics of each one of these three video formats. Then, we use this information to design an algorithm, which will run in a server, in order to send the appropriate video type according to the studied characteristics.
