Can I skip B frame in MPEG2's Rate Control algorithm?

[davyzhu]

Hello all,

I am studying MPEG2's Rate Control algorithm (its TM5 implementation). I found rate control algorithm is the most not intuitive part of all the encoder.

I only need I and P frame. And I want to delete all the thing related to B frame. Shall I read some papers? And can you recommend some papers?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Best regards,
Davy

Re: MPEG2's Rate Control

Well not all encoders need to have a rate control mechanism, but still you can develop one for your encoder. MPEG-2's rate control mechanism is actually given in the verification model of the standard, and since MPEG-2 coded bitstream supports I-, P- and B-frames hence the model also discusses abt them. But anyway you can use some other rate control mechanisms also, like H.263's or any other which deals only with I- and P-frame encoding. You can do this because encoder is not standardised.
As far the use of MPEG-2's rate control is concerned, I feel that you can use this also.
Use only I- and P-frames part and skip things dealing with B-frames.

Hope this could be of help
