The invention provides a 
video image high-quality 
transcoding method with excellent error code resistance. According to the 
video image high-quality 
transcoding method, a fragmentation adaptive 
transcoding algorithm is provided for optimizing 
distortion-limited information source coding at a 
video image transcoding end, the fragmentation adaptive transcoding 
algorithm is based on a fragmentation technology of MPEG-4 advanced video coding, combines a 
distortion limiting information source 
coding theory, establishes a uniform fragmentation number limit 
distortion information source coding model,and adopts a strategy of adaptively adjusting the fragment number of each frame of image to consider the 
code rate and the fault-tolerant performance; and at a video image decoding end, a space-timerelated rapid stepping error masking 
correction algorithm is provided, on the basis of a rapid stepping image error 
recovery method, the space-time related rapid stepping error masking 
correction algorithm is used for correcting a video residual error, and recovers a whole 
macro block in combination with 
time domain information of a video image. Experimental results show that the two fault-tolerant algorithms can effectively enhance the fault-tolerant performance of the video image.
