Abstract

Multimedia input may be received by two or more transcoders. A primary transcoder may transcode the multimedia input and generate a first multimedia output segment having a first segment quality metric based at least in part on errors detected as part of the transcoding process. A second transcoder may transcode the multimedia input and generate a redundant second multimedia output segment encoded with a segment quality metric. The segment quality metrics may be encoded in a manifest file associated with each particular segment. A multimedia delivery platform may receive redundant segments from two or more transcoders and select, among the redundant segments, a segment to provide to a downstream entity based at least in part on the quality metric of the segments.
