Owl: a new multimedia data splitting scheme for cluster video server

In cluster video servers, one of the important issues is how to store multimedia data on many storage nodes. This issue includes two topics: the scheme of splitting an entire file into many clips, and the storage of these clips on many nodes. Our work focuses on the first issue and proposes a new multimedia file splitting scheme. This scheme has universality for almost every media format and makes cluster video servers work efficiently. Besides, the scheme is feasible and easy to implement.
