1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving a content asset at a first bit rate;
- receiving, from a device, a request for content at a first content quality level;
- modifying the first bit rate of the content asset by adding to the content asset a minimum number of null packets needed to satisfy the first content quality level;
- and
- transmitting, to the device, the content asset encoded at the modified first bit rate.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- encoding a content asset at a plurality of constant bit rates to produce a plurality of encoded copies of the content asset;
- receiving, from one or more devices, one or more requests to access the content asset on one or more types of content platforms;
- and
- transmitting, to each of the one or more devices, one or more of the encoded copies of the content asset that corresponds to an optimal constant bit rate for the one or more types of content platforms.
