Abstract :
This paper describes a scalable MPEG-2 bit-rate transcoder which scales from low complexity, resulting in moderate picture quality to high complexity with much better quality. This algorithm presents a very fine grain scalability in terms of complexity, making this solution especially suitable for software implementations, in order to benefit from the available resources to increase picture quality
