Abstract
A method for selectable quantization for use in an encoder for compressing video and/or audio data includes processing that begins by receiving discrete cosine transform data of an encoded signal. The processing continues by obtaining a quantization table. The processing then continues by obtaining a plurality of scaling factors. The process then continues by generating a plurality of quantized value sets of the discrete cosine transform data based on the quantization table and the plurality of quantization scaling factors. The resulting data is then multiplied separately by each of the quantization scaling factors to produce the plurality of quantized values sets. The process then continues by selecting one of the plurality of quantized value sets based on quantization selection criteria.
