Video transcoding method and apparatus, a server system, and storage medium

A server system for transcoding a video source file into multiple target formats, comprising a first server configured to:

• receive a first video chunk of the video source file and first attribute parameters corresponding to the first video chunk and a first target format of the multiple target formats, the first attribute parameters including a first precoding parameter for the first video chunk and a first coding parameter for the first target format, the first video chunk being transcoded into the first target format;
• process the first video chunk according to the first precoding parameter for the first video chunk to obtain a first intermediate coding result;
• code the first intermediate coding result according to the first coding parameter for the first target format to obtain a first final coding result in the first target format;
• and
• output the first final coding result.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by one or more processors to perform:

• receiving a first video chunk of the video source file and first attribute parameters corresponding to the first video chunk and a first target format of the multiple target formats, the first attribute parameters including a first precoding parameter for the first video chunk and a first coding parameter for the first target format, the first video chunk being transcoded into the first target format;
• processing the first video chunk according to the first precoding parameter for the first video chunk to obtain a first intermediate coding result;
• coding the first intermediate coding result according to the first coding parameter for the first target format to obtain a first final coding result in the first target format;
• and
• outputting the first final coding result.
