Systems and methods for persisting in-band metadata within compressed video files

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) receiving, at a computing device, a compressed video bitstream that includes (A) video data and (B) in-band metadata that indicates a video quality of the compressed video bitstream, (2) extracting, at the computing device, the in-band metadata from the compressed video bitstream, (3) determining, based at least in part on the in-band metadata, the video quality of the compressed video bitstream, and then (4) making at least one video-processing decision in connection with the compressed video bitstream based at least in part on the video quality of the compressed video bitstream. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
