Abstract

The video encoding scheme used by a video encoder is selected from a variety of different possible video encoding schemes having different decode rates to generate an encoded video bitstream to achieve a desired decode rate in a specified decoding environment. The video encoder allows a user to select different characteristics of the video encoding scheme to generate the encoded video bitstream for a specific decoding platform.
