transcode

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

transcode

(1) To convert from one format to another. It implies conversion between very distinct kinds of data, such as from speech into text or from analog video into digital frames. Sometimes the term is used as nothing more than a fancier synonym for "convert."

(2) To convert a Web page for display on any size screen. Transcoding services rearrange and reformat the elements for smaller screens such as on PDAs and cellphones. In order that the pages can be quickly transcoded on the fly, some systems require that the Web page be preprocessed so that its elements can be analyzed and annotated ahead of time.

(3) To convert from one compressed audio or video format to another; for example, from MP3 to Ogg Vorbis. Converting lossy formats, such as MP3, to another lossy format may degrade quality considerably. See FLAC, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis.

(4) To convert from one video color format to another; for example, from composite video to component video. Modern A/V receivers transcode video in order to accommodate a mix of analog and video sources such as analog VHS and digital DVD.

TRANSCODE - Early system on Ferut computer. Listed in CACM 2(5):16 (May 1959).
