Abstract

The invention concerns a method comprising: encoding, by a video encoder and based on a first quantization factor (QP), one or more first groups of image blocks of a video frame; estimating, by a processing device, the size of an image slice comprising a plurality of further groups of image blocks to be encoded; and determining, based on the estimated size of the image slice, a second quantization factor (QP) to be applied to one or more of the further groups.
