Hi,
I'm a third year student in collage. Every student in my college must
choose a project to do durring his third/fourth year. One of the projects
on the list was to write a program that converts mpeg2 to mpeg4 (or Mpeg1
to Mpeg2 - but that isn't as interesting) without uncompressing the mpeg2
to a full bitmap and then recompressing...rather to use the compression to
further compress it to mpeg4. (The professor in charge of the
project said he himself doesn't know if it is possible.)
I wrote an email to the projectmayo team a while ago but haven't
really gotten an answer yet, and I noticed a simular post here, so I was
wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I kneed to
know the following:
1) Is this at all posible
2) Is it worth spending time on (will compressing mpeg2->4 this
way achive the same quality, speed)
3) Do you think it can be done in about a year (2 people
that don't know much about compression working 15-20hours a
week)
4) Where can I find a information on mpeg compression. (I've started
going through the offical mpeg site...but I couldn't find information
about how the compression works in all the mpeg documentation
there.)
Thanks for any help,
Ezra Auerbach
