Video recording and encoding in devices with limited processing capabilities

摘要

Method and system are disclosed for processing and encoding video data. The method and system use less computational complexity while maintaining substantially the same high level of quality as existing real-time encoders. In accordance with the invention, the encoding process is divided into two stages: a low complexity processing stage, and a high complexity processing stage. The low complexity processing stage can be performed in real-time by devices with limited processing capability. The high complexity processing stage is performed in non-real-time and, therefore, can also be performed by devices with limited processing capability.
