Abstract: Techniques relating to per-title encoding using spatial and temporal resolution downscaling is disclosed. A method for per-title encoding includes receiving a video input comprised of video segments, spatially downscaling the video input, temporally downscaling the video input, encoding the video input to generate an encoded video, then temporally and spatially upscaling the encoded video. Spatially downscaling may include reducing a resolution of the video input, and temporally downscaling may include reducing a framerate of the video input. Objective metrics for the upscaled encoded video show improved quality over conventional methods.
