Video quality adaptation with frame rate conversion
During video coding, frame rate conversion (FRC) capabilities of a decoder may be estimated. Based on the estimated FRC capabilities, an encoder may select a frame rate for a video coding session and may alter a frame rate of source video to match the selected frame rate. Thereafter, the resultant video may be coded and output to a channel. By incorporating knowledge of a decoder's FRC capabilities as source video is being coded, an encoder may reduce the frame rate of source video opportunistically. Bandwidth that is conserved by avoiding coding of video data in excess of the selected frame rate may be directed to coding of the remaining video at a higher bitrate, which can lead to increased quality of the coding session as a whole.
