A study on the rate control method for MPEG transcoder considering drift-error propagation
Isao Nagayoshi, Hiroyuki Kasai, Hiroyuki Tominaga · 2002
As the transform method of video bit stream to the required bit stream format, the video transcoder has been adopted in various applications. In this paper, we focus on a MPEG video transcoder that can reduce the required bit rate by using re-quantization in the DCT domain. Furthermore, we propose a rate control method for this MPEG video transcoder that takes into consideration the estimation of drift-error propagation. Next, from simulation experiments, we compare the proposed rate control method to the traditional rate control method in terms of complexity, required buffer size and picture quality.
