Video Transcoding. Furht, B., editor In Encyclopedia of Multimedia, pages 951–953. Springer US, 2008. 00034
Paper abstract bibtex DefinitionVideo transcoding is the process of converting a compressed video in a given format into another compressed video bitstream.IntroductionTranscoding is necessary when a given compressed bitstream is not suitable for a video player. For example, the high bitrate video used for a digital TV broadcast cannot be used for streaming video to a mobile device. For delivery to mobile devices, we need video content that is encoded at lower bitrate and lower resolution suitable for low-resource mobile terminals. Pre-encoding video at a few discrete bitrates leads to inefficiencies as the device capabilities vary and pre-encoding video bitstreams for all possible receiver capabilities is impossible. Furthermore, the receiver capabilities such as available CPU, available battery, and available bandwidth vary during a session and a pre-encoded video stream cannot meet such dynamic needs. To make full use of the receiver capabilities and deliver video suitable for a rec ...
