| Abstract: |
VC-1 is now one of the three video coding standards for high definition DVD that include MPEG-2 and H.264. The coded is expected to be used in consumer electronic devices such as DVD and camcorders. The H.264 format has begun to see strong acceptance and is used in mobile devices such as iPod and mobile phones. While multi-format DVD players are expected to support the three high definition video coding formats, H.264 is expected to have broader support in devices and video download services. The need to move data among devices with different capabilities creates a need for transcoding. In this paper we present a P-frame transcoder for VC-1 to H.264 transcoding. The transcoder exploits the variable size transform used in VC-1 to select the variable block size for motion compensation in H.264. The transcoder reduces the complexity substantially without significant loss in quality. |
