re-encode
Transform data anew
Re-encode means to encode something again, typically converting data or media from one format to another or applying new encoding parameters.
Most often used for digital files: I had to re-encode the video at a lower bitrate to reduce the file size.
Re-encoding often involves some quality loss, since the process decodes then encodes anew rather than copying the original source.
