In some embodiments, a method of determining encoding type and predictive mode(s) selections for a macroblock of a video frame is provided. In some embodiments, a general method 1) selects the encoding type (16x16 or 4x4) that is initially considered for a macroblock using an encoding type selection algorithm (based on an attribute of the macroblock that is easy to compute), 2) if the 16x16 encoding type is selected in step I, consider the four 16x16 prediction modes that may be used on the macroblock using conventional methods or an improved 16x16 predictive mode search algorithm based on distortion thresholds, and 3) if the 4x4 encoding type is selected in step 1, select the 4x4 prediction mode to be used for each of the sixteen 4x4 blocks of the macroblock using conventional methods or an improved 4x4 predictive mode search algorithm based on the positional relationships between predictive modes. |
