If I might ask, what's the difference between transcoding and recompressing?


I would've said transcoding is conversion of one format to another eg. MPEG2 to MPEG4 and recompression implies the decoding and recoding of a signal using the same format. Certainly we use those terms at work.

EDIT: Dammit, beaten to it.

EDIT: Should also point out transcoding doesn't have involve compression of any type. We would describe converting an SDI video signal to a analogue composite signal as transcoding too.
