The method for controlling a transmission rate of a video decoder is used for a video decoder having an intra mode, a uni-directional predicted mode, and a bidirectionally predicted mode. In this method, first, one of the three modes is selected. When the intra mode is selected, after judging whether a scene conversion signal is output, the image data is encoded into the intra mode by assigning t...
