A method and concomitant apparatus (100) that adaptively utilizes at least chrominance information to control bit allocation in an MPEG-like compression encoder. The invention controls bit allocation of a video signal by examining at least color different (U, V) components within the video signal, identifying, illustratively, flesh-tone indicative portions of the video signal by allocating additional bits to, e.g., macroblocks associated with the flesh-tone indicative portions of the signal. |
