In order to provide end users with better video quality, This paper presents an adaptive extension H264/AVC video streams based multipath scalable video coding algorithm, with the path diversity provided by video distribution network (VDN). Our method adapts to the variety of end-users using the scalable video coding. Moreover, it adapts to network bandwidth fluctuation by observing the changes of the available bandwidth over the multiple overlay paths. Experimental results show that the algorithm is more effective to estimate network congestion, reduce video packet loss rate and reducing network latency, and thus more effectively ensure the quality of the video network transmission.
