Claim 0:
1. A method for classifying video for encoding optimization, comprising:
computing a content complexity score of a video, the content complexity score indicating a measure of how detailed the video is in terms of spatial and temporal information, wherein the complexity score is a function of a human perceptual quality of experience score, such that a higher complexity score relates to a lower perceptual quality of experience and a lower complexity score relates to a higher perceptual quality of experience;
adjusting the content complexity score to account for any difference between a target bit rate and the actual bitrate,
categorizing the video into one of a plurality of buckets according to the content complexity score as adjusted, each bucket representing a category of video content having a different range of content complexity scores and being associated with a ladder specific to the range; and
encoding the video according to the ladder of the one of the plurality of buckets into which the video is categorized.
