PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data.SOLUTION: A method of processing multimedia data includes receiving multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data into a first data group and a second data group based on content of the multimedia data. The first data group is configured to be independently decodable from the second data group. The first and second data groups are encoded at different quality levels. The method can also include classifying the content of the multimedia data and encoding the multimedia data based on the content classification.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for encoding and decoding transitional effects, i.e., visual video effects that are used for transition from a current scene of a multimedia sequence.SOLUTION: An encoding device detects a transitional effect associated with a multimedia sequence during the encoding of the multimedia sequence, and transmits information as part of an encoded multimedia sequence to identify the transitional effect associated with the encoded multimedia sequence to a decoder. The information may comprise metadata that can be used by the decoder to simulate or re-create the transitional effect. The decoder simulates a transitional effect in response to the information.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide rate control for multi-layer video design which can modify quality of base layer encoding and enhancement layer encoding such that transmission bandwidths for the base and enhancement layers satisfy a mathematical relationship such as a ratio.SOLUTION: Methods and apparatus for efficient encoding of multimedia data, such as live video streams are disclosed. The multimedia data is pre-encoded into multiple layers and characteristics of the pre-encoded data are determined. Based at least in part on the determined characteristics, the multimedia data is encoded into multiple layers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for processing multimedia data, which enable faster channel acquisition, improved error recovery, and improved efficiency. SOLUTION: An encoder device encodes a first portion of a piece of multimedia data using inter-coding to generate a first version, and encodes the first portion of the multimedia data using intra-coding to generate a second version. A decoder device receives the first version of the first portion of the multimedia data that has been inter-coded and the second version of the first portion of the multimedia data that has been intra-coded, and selectively decodes the received first and second versions.
