Abstract
A service is described that is able to analyze and prioritize media transcoding jobs. The determination of priority may be based on a feedback loop in which the system obtains request pattern information that indicates how end user devices consume the media content that has been transcoded. The historical request pattern information can be obtained by the service provider during the serving of the content to the requesting devices. Alternatively, the request pattern information may be obtained by receiving the information from a content publisher or other entities. Based on the request pattern associated with the media content, the system may assign higher priorities to formats that will be most frequently requested at specified time periods. The system may utilize higher number of resources, different types of resources or different configurations of resources to execute the high priority transcoding jobs.
