Abstract
A video encoder with rate-constrained search ordering feature for reducing computational cost of motion estimation in video coding has been provided. The video encoder has a motion estimation module for determining vector encoding costs for respective motion vectors corresponding to candidate blocks in a video frame, and assigning an order for evaluating a rate-constrained cost of each candidate block based on the determined vector encoding costs.
