Abstract
A near-real time encoding of a signal comprising at least a video signal is disclosed. The encoding comprises acquiring the video signal included in a linear stream, the linear stream comprising at least two contents without a logical distinction between them, dividing the video signal into at least a first segment and a second segment of respective preset durations, at least one of the segments being capable of containing at least a part of said two contents and comprising recomposing information, executing a first encoding of said first segment using an off-line encoding to obtain a first encoded segment, executing a second encoding of said second segment using an off-line encoding to obtain a second encoded segment, said second encoding being executed at least partially in parallel with the first encoding, recomposing, using said recomposing information, said first and second encoded segments to obtain a continuous encoded signal.
