> It seems you need to use a device called a codec.
"Codec" isn't quite specific enough. "Codec" is short for "coder/decoder",
just as "modem" is short for "modulator/demodulator." It doesn't say
much--if anything--about the necessary techniques; it simply states the kind
of device needed. Even this isn't particularly illuminating since the term
is generic enough that the device can be a chip, a part of a chip, or a
subsystem. Codecs are also found in a number of different products, not
just video converters.
As well, the original question involved a one-way conversion. A "video
decoder" would suffice and is probably preferable.
