Abstract

Video transcoding is the process of converting a video from one format into another. A format is defined by characteristics such as bitrate, framerate, spatial resolution and coding syntax. In this paper, we present an algorithm for transcoding from MPEG2 to H.264 in the spatial domain. For fast transcoding, we exploit three kinds of information included in an MPEG2 bitstream, which are coded macroblock type, coded block pattern and motion vector. According to the coded macroblock type and coded block pattern, we adaptively select the macroblock mode during the H.264 encoding process. Furthermore, the motion vector is also reused when an inter16x16 mode is selected as a macroblock mode. Simulation results show that the proposed transcoder dramatically reduces total transcoding time at comparable PSNR.
