ABSTRACT:
A method and corresponding equipment (11) for encoding different types of objects of a multimedia data stream so as to provide improved overall quality (Q), according to relationships (11b) between quality (Qi) and encoding size/transmission rate (Ri) for each object, and according to penalties (11c) for removing objects from the multimedia data stream. A multimedia data stream is provided in which the quality of the different objects tends to be similar according to rules provided by the invention for assigning a value of quality to each of the different kinds of objects of the multimedia stream.
