摘要： A computer-implemented system and method are described for online gaming. For example, a system according to one embodiment comprises: a video game server receiving user inputs related to an online video game and responsively executing program code of the video game to render a sequence of video images; a first stream encoder to compress the sequence of video images and generate a live video stream during a live gaming session with a user of a client device, the first stream encoder receiving channel feedback signals from the client device and responsively adapting compression of the sequence of video images based on the channel feedback signals, the first stream encoder continually transmitting the live video stream to the client device during the live gaming session with the user; a second stream encoder to compress the sequence of video images at a specified video quality and/or compression ratio unrelated to the channel feedback signal during the live gaming session with the user, thereby generating a High Quality (HQ) video stream, the HQ video stream having a relatively higher video quality and/or lower compression ratio than the live video stream; and a storage device for storing the HQ video stream for subsequent playback to the user of the client device and to other users upon request.

摘要： A computer-implemented system and method for performing video compression are described. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: encoding a plurality of video frames or portions thereof according to a first encoding format; transmitting the plurality of encoded video frames or portions to a client device; receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information usable to determine whether data contained in the video frames or portions has been successfully received and/or decoded; determining latency associated with communicating with the client device; in response to detecting that one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded: (1) if the latency is above a specified threshold, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to a second encoding format, the second encoding format comprising a format which is not dependent on previously-transmitted video frames or portions thereof; or (2) if the latency is below a specified threshold, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to the first encoding format, the new video frame encoded to be dependent on a last known successfully received video frame or portion thereof; and transmitting the new video frame or portion thereof to the client device.

摘要： A computer-implemented system and method are described for performing video compression. For example, a method according to one embodiment comprises: encoding a plurality of video frames or portions thereof according to a first encoding format; transmitting the plurality of encoded video frames or portions to a client device; receiving feedback information from the client device, the feedback information usable to determine whether data contained in the video frames or portions has not been successfully received and/or decoded; in response to detecting that one or more video frames or portions thereof have not been successfully received and/or decoded, then either encoding a new video frame or portion thereof according to a second encoding format or encoding the new video frame to be dependent on the last video frame or portion thereof known to have been successfully received and/or decoded, and: (1) if no forward error correction (FEC) coding is used to transmit the plurality of encoded video frames or portions, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof using FEC coding; or (2) if a first FEC coding is used to transmit the plurality of encoded video frames or portions, then encoding a new video frame or portion thereof using a second FEC coding, the second FEC coding being a relatively stronger FEC coding than the first FEC coding; and transmitting the new video frame or portion thereof to the client device.
