The invention provides a video
transcoding method and device, being applied to an articulated naturality web. The video
transcoding method comprises the steps that a target
transcoding device receivesa transcoding request sent by a transcoding
server, and the target transcoding device is determined by the transcoding
server according to the transcoding request; the target transcoding device receives a to-be-transcoded video data packet sent by the articulated naturality web streaming
media server according to the information of the target transcoding device, wherein the information of the target transcoding device is reported to the articulated naturality web streaming
media server by the transcoding
server; the target transcoding device sorts the video data packets to be transcoded; andthe target transcoding device transcodes the sorted video data packets according to the transcoding request, and sends the transcoded video data packets to an articulated naturality web streaming
media server. According to the video transcoding method, the phenomena of time
delay,
packet loss, blurred screen, lagging, black screen and the like caused by poor terminal performance can be avoided; and the problem of disorder of the video data packets is solved, and the phenomena of jamming, blurred screen and the like caused by disorder of the video data packets are avoided, so that the user experience is improved.
