Can a Transcoding Task Have Multiple Outputs?

Yes. A video file can be transcoded into multiple resolutions and bitrates to ensure optimal playback across various devices and network conditions.

Compared with one-in one-out transcoding, one-in multiple-out transcoding can improve transcoding efficiency. The reasons are as follows:

Only one task needs to be created, reducing manual configuration time and minimizing queuing delays for multiple transcoding tasks.
Source file reading, analysis, and segmenting are completed in a single pass.
The source file is decoded only once for all outputs, drastically cutting down on total decoding time.
Key encoding information can be reused during the generation of multiple outputs, further accelerating the encoding process.
