Abstract: A scalable per-title encoding technique may include detecting scene cuts in an input video received by an encoding network or system, generating segments of the input video, performing per-title encoding of a segment of the input video, training a deep neural network (DNN) for each representation of the segment, thereby generating a trained DNN, compressing the trained DNN, thereby generating a compressed trained DNN, and generating an enhanced bitrate ladder including metadata comprising the compressed trained DNN. In some embodiments, the method also may include generating a base layer bitrate ladder for CPU devices, and providing the enhanced bitrate ladder for GPU-available devices.
