Software for MPEG-2 Encoding

Software for MPEG-2:-

Long time since i could do something useful with the software.

User Cooperation Diversity Scheme can be more useful if the transmitted information(Encoded Video bits in my case) can be divided into different layers based on their importance in the decoding of the message at the receiver. Ex:- If the encoded video is divided into two layers say a Base Layer(BL,more important) and an enhancement Layer(EL) , then User Cooperation can be used only for the BL and EL can be sent directly to the receiver without any Diversity.

But the MPEG-2 Software converts the video into an single encoded stream which is stored in an outfile. I had to modify the software such that the video stream is divided into 3 layers in the decreasing order of importance 1. Containing I-frame information 2. P-frame info 3. B-frame info. By doing this, i can make the best use of the diversity scheme.

The next step would be to divide the motion information, header information etc. which are very important from the DCT coefficients etc.
