Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a model for determining a quantization strength to use when encoding video frames are disclosed. A pre-encoder performs multiple encoding passes using different quantization strengths on a portion or the entirety of one or more pre-processed video frames. The pre-encoder captures the bit-size of the encoded output for each of the multiple encoding passes. Then, based on the multiple encoding passes, the pre-encoder generates a model for mapping bit-size to quantization strength for encoding video frames or portion(s) thereof. When the encoder begins the final encoding pass for one or more given video frames or any portion(s) thereof, the encoder uses the model to map a preferred bit-size to a given quantization strength. The encoder uses the given quantization strength when encoding the given video frame(s) or frame portion(s) to meet a specified bit-rate for the encoded bitstream.
