GPU accelerated video conversion in the cloud

Abstract

Recently, it is being observed that the conversion of video file from one format such as AVI to other format such as MPEG is done in order to make it compatible with different devices such as personal computers, mobile phones and tablets. The basic video conversion application uses CPU to convert the video file from AVI to MPEG and may be limited to an client or a device and also, it takes time to convert videos. The proposed system is going to be developed which will use Graphics Processing Unit to accelerate the video conversion in the cloud. The use of cloud will make the proposed system available for many clients and it will not be limited to a client or the device.
