Encoding digital videos using controllers of data storage devices
View Patent ↗In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory configured to store data and a controller coupled to the memory. The controller is configured to receive, from a computing device coupled to the apparatus, one or more frames of a digital video. The controller is also configured to analyze one or more components of the memory. The controller is further configured to determine a set of states for the one or more components of the memory based on the analysis of the one or more components of the memory. The controller is further configured to determine a first encoding rate for the digital video from a plurality of encoding rates based on the set of states for the one or more components of the memory. The controller is further configured to encode the digital video based on the first encoding rate and to store the encoded digital video in the memory.
