Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and systems for modifying the data rate of a video signal are provided. A compressed video signal is received. A closed-loop transrating path for modifying a data rate of the video signal and an open-loop transrating path for modifying the data rate of the video signal are provided. One of the open-loop transrating path or the closed-loop transrating path is selected for modifying the data rate of at least a portion of the video signal. Pixel quantization error control may be provided in the closed loop transrating path.
