Apparatus and method for adaptively controlling a bit rate of a video transcoder are disclosed. Logarithmic R-Q characteristics obtaining the adaptive R-Q characteristics suitable to characteristics of an inputted image are proposed, and the parameter (beta) compensating the difference between the coding efficiency of MPEG-1 and the coding efficiency of MPEG-4 is not fixed as a specific value but changed adaptively according to the characteristics of an image. Accordingly, an accurate quantization parameter of MPEG-4 is generated. Thus, on the basis of the proposed concepts, the bit rate is adaptively controlled when the bit stream of MPEG-1 is converted into a bit stream of MPEG-4, so that the picture quality (PSNR) can be heightened and more accurate output bit rate can be obtained. |
