Assumedly, implementing the logic yourself for transcoding source content into various encodings on demand.

If you're storing 1080p h265 MP4s in R2 and the client can only support 480p h264 it'll request that but you need to "appropriately transcode" for them.

The alternative is a service that does this for you, like Cloudflare Stream. Upload source video, service handles transcoding and integrates easily with standard video players with HLS or Dash.

Just in case: I am not OP
