Abstract

A method for transcoding a compressed video partitions the compressed video into hierarchical levels, and extracts features from each of the hierarchical levels. One of a number of conversion modes of a transcoder is selected dependent on the features extracted from the hierarchical levels. The compressed video is then transcoded according to the selected conversion mode.
