Optimizing encoding operations when generating a buffer-constrained version of a media title

One or more non-transitory computer readable media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• encoding a first subsequence associated with a media title across a first set of encoding points to generate a first set of subsequence encode points, wherein each subsequence encode point is associated with a different encoded subsequence;
• performing one or more convex hull operations across the first set of subsequence encode points to compute a first convex hull of subsequence encode points based on at least two media metrics;
• generating a first global convex hull of media encode points based on a transmission buffer constraint, the first convex hull, and a second global convex hull of media encode points associated with one or more subsequences associated with the media title that occur before the first subsequence in a playback order for the media title;
• selecting a first media encode point included in the first global convex hull based on a first media metric;
• and
• determining a first encoded media sequence based on the first media encode point, wherein the first encoded media sequence is subsequently streamed to an endpoint device during playback of the media title.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that are coupled to the one or more memories and, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
• partition a source media sequence associated with a media title into a plurality of subsequences based on a plurality of shot changes;
• generate a first convex hull of subsequence encode points based on a first set of encoding points and a first subsequence included in the plurality of subsequences, wherein each subsequence encode point is associated with a different encoded subsequence;
• generate a first global convex hull of media encode points based on a transmission buffer constraint, the first convex hull, and a second global convex hull of media encode points associated with a portion of the media title that occurs before the first subsequence in a playback order for the media title;
• select a first media encode point included in the first global convex hull based on a media metric;
• and
• determine a first encoded media sequence based on the first media encode point, wherein the first encoded media sequence is subsequently streamed to an endpoint device during playback of the media title.
