This paper describes the application of transcoding techniques for high quality DVD recording. The architecture of a DVD recording system is presented, along with an optimal algorithm to perform quantization scale selection and mode decision in the transcoder. The experimental results show that the proposed optimal transcoding scheme out performs the cascaded transcoder and MPEG-2TM5 encoder.
