The method includes, for each transcoding method, obtaining a distortion value from a mathematical model for establishing the distortion taking into account the transcoding method, the distortion model being applied to information representing digital data. The method also includes selecting a transcoding method as a function of the different distortion values obtained for the set of transcoding methods.
