摘要： An audiovisual encoding system using a multipass video encoder (50) and a plurality of one-pass audio encoders (70a, 70b, 70c and 70d). The number of audio encoders used by the system is equal to the number of audio tracks to be encoded divided by the number of passes required for the video encoding rounded up to the nearest integer, if necessary. The system allows the video encoder (50) and audio encoders (70a, 70b, 70c and 70d) to be used at the same time so that the encoding of the video is completed at the same time as the encoding of all audio tracks is completed, using the minimum number of audio encoders (70a, 70b, 70c and 70d).

摘要： A system (31, 41, 32, 33) in which a user manually changes the quality of specific time periods of encoded video (180). After the automatic encoding (50) of video into a compressed digital format, a person editing (31, 33) the encoded video reviews the quality of the video and manually indicates that the quality of specific time periods (180) of the video is to be altered. As the digital storage medium such as an optical disc (84, 90) which stores the encoded video has finite storage capacity, the total number of bits for the encoded video (50) and the quality of the video is limited. A percentage of bits are removed from time sequence and placed in a bit pool (368). Using an exponential function (368) new bits are calculated and the bits in the bit pool are proportionally distributed to the video frames (376). The frames must then be checked (394) and possibly adjusted (398, 400) to prevent underflow of the video buffer.

摘要： A method and system in which a user manually changes the quality of portions of video frames after the frames have been previously encoded. Regions of one or more frames of video are selected to have an increased quality, a decreased quality, or a quality which should not be altered (174). After the regions are defined by a user, the frames of video is digitally re-encoded and inserted into the digitally encoded data stream in place of the previously encoded data (182 and 190). In order to easily remove a previously encoded frame from the data stream and replace it with a newly encoded frame having regions of quality defined by the user, it is preferable to have the newly encoded frame consume the same number of bits as the previously encoded frame.

摘要： A digital video recording and playback system, and a method for recording video program information on a multiple-channel recording medium, such as tape. The system includes multiple playback devices, such as VCR decks. Each playback device outputs video program data from each of multiple channels of the recording medium at the same time. Synchronizing circuitry controls the playback devices so that alternately one is in playback mode while the other is in non-playback mode. The sequential outputs of the two playback devices can create a continuous and complete video program. One playback device is in playback mode while the other is rewinding. Because the video program data is recorded on the multiple channels with staggered starting times, little wait time occurs between the request for a program by a viewer and the start time of the program.
