A technique for transcoding an input compressed video bitstream to an output compressed video bitstream at a different bit rate, includes: receiving an input compressed video bitstream at a first bit rate; specifying a new target bit rate for an output compressed video bitstream; partially decoding the input bitstream to produce dequantized data; requantizing the dequantized data using a different quantization level (QP) to produce requantized data; and re-encoding the requantized data to produce the output compressed video bitstream. An appropriate initial quantization level (QP) is determined for requantizing, the bit rate of the output compressed video bitstream is monitored; and the quantization level is adjusted to make the bit rate of the output compressed video bitstream closely match the target bit rate. Invariant header data is copied directly to the output compressed video bitstream. Requantization errors are determined by dequantizing the requantized data and subtracting from the dequantized data, the quantization errors are IDCT processed to produce an equivalent error image, motion compensation is applied to the error image according to motion compensation parameters from the input compressed video bitstream, the motion compensated error image is DCT processed, and the DCT-processed error image is applied to the dequantized data as motion compensated corrections for errors due to requantization. |
