MULTIPLE THREAD VIDEO ENCODING USING GOP MERGING AND BIT ALLOCATION

摘要

A method of encoding video wherein multiple threads of GOPs are encoding in parallel from a buffer in a single pass. In the buffer GOPs having fewer frames than a low frame threshold at the end of a scene are merged with a preceding GOP. Hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) information is stored in the buffer for each GOP and HRD information for neighboring GOPs are merged in the buffer.
