1.4 Terminology
Encoding means the conversion of a video of any format into another format, e.g. MPEG-
2 or Nero Digital™ (MPEG-4). A corresponding encoder is required for every target
format.
Transcoding means converting a video from a particular format into another particular
format, e.g. from Xvid to MPEG-2.
Recoding involves converting an existing video with certain properties (e.g. bit rate 2500
kbit/s) into the same format with different properties (e.g. bit rate 1990 kbit/s).
Decoding means opening or playing a video that has been encoded in a particular format.
In this manual transcoding is used synonymously with encoding.
