Abstract
Dynamically re-locating transcoding processes of live content data is described herein. In an example, a computer system causes a first server to execute a first transcode process on a first portion of live stream content. A first output of executing the first transcode process includes first transcoded content. The computer system determines a transcode capacity of one or more servers. The computer system determines that transcoding the live stream content is to be moved to a second server based at least in part on the transcode capacity and a transcode optimization parameter. The computer system causes the second server to execute a second transcode process on a second portion of the live stream content. The second transcode process is equivalent to the first transcode process. A second output of executing the second transcode process includes second transcoded content.
