ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for selecting a method from a set of methods for transcoding video data, where the data may be transmitted between at least two communication apparatuses via a communication network, the method comprising the steps of determining at least one weighting factor (W1, W2) to attribute to each of the transcoding methods of the set, the at least one weighting factor depending on the data to be transcoded, weighting a mean value of at least one characteristic representative of each of the transcoding methods of the set by applying adapted weighting factors (W1, W2), and selecting a transcoding method as a function of the weighted mean values.
