1. A non-transitory computer-readable record medium storing instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform a video transmission method without transcoding a video, the video transmission method comprising:
transferring frames of the video to N encoders using an interleaving scheme, N denoting a first natural number greater than or equal to 2,
generating N video streams by encoding the frames using the N encoders, each of the N video streams corresponding to one of the N encoders, and
transmitting each of the N video streams as an independent stream,
wherein
the transmitting includes transmitting each of the N video streams to a receiver terminal as an independent stream, the receiver terminal configured to select n video streams among the N video streams based on a network situation of the receiver terminal, the receiver terminal configured to reproduce the video by decoding the n video streams, n denoting a third natural number less than or equal to N, and
wherein the receiver terminal is configured to dynamically set a value of n in response to a change in the network situation of the receiver terminal such that the value of n is set larger as the network situation of the receiver terminal improves, and thereby the receiver terminal is configured to play the video with different bitrates in accordance with the set value of n without receiving respective transcoded videos of the video with different resolutions.
