US Patent 11882324 Reconciliation for parallel transcoding

A transcoding process may be performed in parallel, which may include different nodes processing different segments of a media file at different times. Different time slices of media files may have different properties, which may lead to errors when media files are encoded for later playback. Extracting metadata from frames of media files and evaluating the frames for discrepancies enables creation of a reconciliation manifest to correct discrepancies associated with the media file. As the transcoding process is performed, the reconciliation manifest may be reference to generate an output media file.
