Abstract
It is presented a method for encoding a video frame of a piece of video content. The method is performed in an encoder device and comprises the steps of: dividing the video frame into a set of non-overlapping regions, wherein the set comprises at least one region; assigning each region, in the set of regions, to a separate processing unit; encoding, in each processing unit, picture data of the respective region; collecting progress data from each processing unit, the progress data indicating progress of the encoding of the respective region; and dividing a particular region into a plurality of smaller regions and assigning each smaller region to a separate processing unit, when the progress data indicates that progress of encoding the particular region is insufficient.
