Abstract
As one example, a method can include receiving a series of chunks of media content encoded according to an adaptive bitrate format. The method also includes setting a buffer utilization value for a compressed data buffer. The method also includes adjusting timestamps of each packet in a given chunk to provide a preprocessed chunk, which includes the adjusted timestamps and the buffer utilization value. The method also includes streaming the preprocessed chunk in an output transport stream at variable bitrate set according a predetermined chunk time duration and based on the adjusted timestamps.
