A method of encoding an outgoing video stream comprising a plurality of frames, each frame comprising a plurality of image portions, the method including for each target image portion to be encoded, selecting a preferred one of a set of encoding modes by optimizing a function comprising an estimate of distortion and a measure of bit rate required to encode the target image portion; encoding the target image portion into the outgoing video stream using the selected encoding mode; and transmitting the encoded outgoing video stream over a lossy channel. The estimate of distortion comprises a first term representing source coding distortion, and a bias term representing an estimate of distortion that would be experienced due to loss over said channel. The bias term is determined based on a trained parameter trained based on a sample video stream.
