Statistics for estimating quantization factors of a coding-unit type (e.g., B-coded or I-coded) pictures are determined from other, possibly different (e.g., P-coded) pictures, or previously coded coding-units. Bit rate and quality relationships between such coding-unit types may be used with the quantization parameters. Estimating bit rate and quality relationships between coding-unit types enables accurate rate control for pictures regardless of their coding-unit type. Bit rate and quality relationships between coding-unit types can be used with multiple rate control models to increase compression. Rate control parameters may be adjusted with statistics generated by a motion estimation and compensation framework. Rate control performance may be controlled in transcoding compressed bit streams.
