For supporting the communication between different sets with different code standard, it is necessary for transforming the coded bit-stream into another style. This process is called video transcode.
为了支持不同编码标准之间的设备能够相互通信,需要对已经编码的码流数据进行相互的转换,这一转换过程就叫做视频转码。

You can use it to play video, transcode video, and serve streaming video.
您可以使用它来播放视频、转换视频代码和播放流格式视频。
This meant that I needed to build a prototype that booted an image, took input of what video file to transcode, hit the API we'd already built, stored the results on Amazon S3, and shut itself down.
这意味着我需要构建一个这样的原型，即启动一个镜像，导入要转码的视频文件，运行我们构建好的API，把结果存储在Amazon S3上，然后自行关闭。
Although we were not redistributing or modifying the source code - just using the compiled binary to transcode video - we needed to figure out a way around this issue.
尽管我们没有重新分发或是修改源码——只是使用了已编译好的库来对视频进行转码——我们还是需要找出一种绕过这一问题的方法。
