start with IPO: Input, Process, Output. what do you want to encode? how do you want to encode it? what purpose do you want the output to fulfill? encoding is changing one thing to another: compression is a form of encoding to save space. ecryption is a form of encoding to hide the output from undesirables. serialization is a form of encoding to transfer a binary object as text etc. So simply asking for help in encoding, help me now, please, won't get you far. Start by defining the problem, define it well. Once you can define it, you start breaking it down to its parts. IPO is an archaic method, but it still works especially for new programmers. Break it down into sub groups of functional parts, each with an IPO definition, each does only their small part. Put it all together, and you have a program. BUT, first you have to start by defining it.

Thanks for such an inspirational answer. I really appreciate it. I want to encode a video using Visual Studio C++. I want to get a compressed video as an output. How do I start breaking it in parts? Do you mean should I start writing what I need to input, then process and then finally output? I really appreciate the help.Thanks very much.

Your question is a little vague; an encoder of what?

have you got the video to input? if not, you start there, how do you get the video. Once you have everything needed to get the video into the design, then you need to compress it. Do you want industry standard compression? do you want to use 3rd party libraries to do the compression for you? do you want to write your own compression? Is it for archival? Is it for streaming videos across the network? do you need high compression over low-latency? The questions just keep adding up. You answer them, figure out what you need to do that and move on to the next. Are you writing the display? DirectX? OpenGL? (someone else here is doing video to texture -- you two might help each other). there are libraries to do video compression, but that may not be what you need.
