Notes:
Abstract MPEG video compression is quite difficult to achieve in real time, and hardware solutions for this problem are expensive. We present a portable, fault-tolerant, parallel, MPEG-1 encoder implemented in software. We detail the implementation strategy for the encoder and give performance results on a network of workstations and a massively parallel processor. We also show that our encoder can efficiently adapt to fluctuating processing power typical in workstation networks.
