Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This live versus VOD pipeline worksheet walks each stage and records whether to build it live-specific, VOD-specific or shared. We wrote seven volumes covering the whole video stack; start with Volume 1 for encoding and transcoding, then Volume 2 for live transport and packaging, with Volume 3 for delivery. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
Running separate live and VOD pipelines and wondering how much you could share?
Share your current pipelines, and we will mark each stage as shared or separate and estimate the savings from merging them. 250+ video products shipped since 2005.
