A method of transcoding a digital signal encoded according to a first encoding mode into a digital signal encoded according to a second encoding mode, the second encoding mode comprising a bit rate-distortion allocation of the encoded digital signal. The method comprises the steps of obtaining at least a first parameter of encoding the signal according to the first mode, obtaining at least a second parameter from an at least partial encoding of the signal according to the second mode, and selecting a bit rate-distortion allocation mode for the encoding of the signal according to the second mode, as a function of the first and second parameters.
Abstract:
A method of processing a coded digital signal including a set of information representing the digital signal, zones of the signal, and parameters used during the coding. The method includes, after reception of a request to obtain a selected part of the coded digital signal, the steps of locating the selected part in the digital signal from the set of information, determining internal zones contained entirely in the selected part of the digital signal from the set of information, decoding the internal zones, and retrieving the zones.
