Abstract
Architecture of algorithmically optimized MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 video encoder is presented in the paper. The paper reveals details of implementation for the proposed MPEG-4 AVC video encoder. The presented MPEG-4 AVC encoder was tested with test video sequences from the point of view of computational performance and coding efficiency. The runtime of the optimized video encoder is 37 to 132 times smaller relative to runtime of the reference MPEG-4 AVC encoder for comparable encoder compression performance.
