The embodiment of the invention provides a media format
conversion method and a media format conversion
system based on
cloud computing architecture. The method mainly comprises the following steps that a
transcoding platform based on the
cloud computing architecture is constructed on the network side, and the
transcoding platform is used for receiving a media file which is submitted by a browser of a
client and needs format conversion and dividing the media file into a plurality of sub-media files; according to a set mission control strategy, a plurality of
transcoding servers are selected from a transcoding
server cluster in the transcoding platform, and each transcoding
server is used for performing format conversion on one sub-media file, so as to obtain one transcoding sub-media file; and all of the transcoding sub-media files are combined to obtain a transcoding media file of the media file, and the transcoding media file is returned to the browser of the
client. By using the method and the
system provided by the embodiment of the invention, the conversion problem of various video formats is effectively solved, the transcoding time is reduced, and the problem that much time is consumed in format conversion of a large video file and multiple video files is solved.
