Abstract
New and improved apparatus and methods for video encoding, for example, to efficiently and concurrently apply adaptive encoding techniques to convert analog data into digital formats, such as Digital Video (DV) format. A parallel system receives a block of video data and based on the computations and comparisons performed determines the best quantization factor for the block of video data. In an embodiment, the parallel system performs selected operations in parallel to save time and increase speed.
