re-encoding
Converting data again
Re-encoding is converting data that's already been encoded into a different format or compression scheme.
The term appears most often with audio and video files: I spent the afternoon re-encoding my music library to a lossless format.
Re-encoding typically involves some quality loss, since the file has already been compressed once.
The process is also called transcoding.
