reencoding
Translating data anew
Reencoding is converting data that has already been encoded into a different format or compression scheme.
Most commonly applied to digital media: you might reencode a video file to reduce its size or make it compatible with different devices.
I spent the afternoon reencoding my music library to a lossless format.
The process often involves some quality loss, since the data has already been compressed once.
