Abstract
A transcoding method is performed by receiving a first bitstream of compressed image data having identifiable coding parameters. These parameters may relate to the GOP structure of pictures represented in the first bitstream, the size of the pictures represented in the first bitstream, whether the pictures represented in the first bitstream are field or frame pictures, and/or whether the pictures represented in the first bitstream define a progressive or interlaced sequence. First motion information is obtained from the first bitstream, and is used to extrapolate second motion information for a second bitstream of compressed image data. The second bitstream, which has one or more parameters different from the parameters of the first bitstream, is provided as a transcoded output.
