Apparatus that compresses video data using a compression coder having control registers loaded with compression parameters, the apparatus being controlled to sense the size of compressed video data resulting from compressing a portion of source video data using a set of compression parameters, to automatically reload compression parameters that change as a function of the sensed size of compressed video data (the changed parameters being used with the next portion of video data to be compressed), and to store with each compressed portion an indication of the compression parameters used in compressing the portion.

Adaptive video compression and decompression

A method of decoding data packets of an encoded video program using a decoder that is controlled by decoding parameters loaded into control registers, the method including sequentially acquiring data packets that include decoding parameters and associated encoded video data, and processing each of the packets as it is acquired by storing the decoding parameters from the packet into the control registers and decoding the encoded video data using the associated decoding parameters.
