Description
The accounting for video transcoding jobs are currently done in 4s segments. There is no enforcement on the protocol level - it's simply enforced by the client implementation of the broadcaster and transcoder.
Segment-based accounting is simple, but not the most appropriate for video transcoding. For example, AWS has a more comprehensive accounting system that takes into account the bitrate and framerate of the video.
Similar to Ethereum gas accounting, Livepeer should have a more appropriate accounting model for video transcoding.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Livepeer protocol issues 126 and 48, then review the referenced Discord discussion and AWS MediaLive pricing model. Done would require defining a more appropriate video-transcoding accounting model and protocol-level enforcement, but the issue does not identify implementation files or tests.
