| 20110211637 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPRESSING DIGITAL VIDEO STREAMS - A video compression method comprises the steps of a) receiving a set of video scenes comprising video frames; b) for each of said video scenes selecting a motion estimation algorithm and/or a rate control algorithm to respectively compress at least two of the scenes, wherein each of said video scenes is encoded by means of a predetermined encoding algorithm; c) carrying out the motion estimation and/or rate control algorithms selection such that the selected motion estimation algorithm provides minimal motion estimation prediction errors and/or the selected rate control algorithm provides the highest quantization factors for the lower distortion; and d) modifying said encoding algorithm for each of said video scenes in order to compress it by means of the selected motion estimation and/or rate control algorithms. | 09-01-2011 |
