Abstract
A method of video splitting and distributed placement scheme for clustered video servers including defining a network packet format for the streaming media and the distributed control file formats for the clips; obtaining the information of streaming media files, getting the basic information of streaming media files and accepting the preliminary splitting requirements of users; defining the placement strategy of clips, obtaining the placement requirements configured by users; analyzing the streaming media files and generating the lists of splitting tasks; running the splitting tasks. According to the number of the clips requested by users, the job is to created multi-threads and each thread processes a splitting task; clips transmission and storage. According to the placement strategy of clips, the job is to transfer the clips to the corresponding storage nodes.
