Abstract: A method of encoding and communicating video data comprises encoding a video data file (22) to create an encoded video data file (24) and sending the encoded video data file (24) to a destination (30). A portion of the encoded video data file (24) is sent to the destination (30) at the same time as the video data file (22) is being encoded. New header information for the encoded video data file (44) is sent to the destination (30) when sending the encoded video data file to the destination is complete. The destination (30) can then modify a header (46) of the encoded video data file (44) to include the new header information. This reduces the overall time taken for the video data file to be encoded and sent to the destination (30).
