Claim 0:
1. A video encoding method comprising:
during a first period, performing an encoding process upon a first block group of a current frame to generate a first block group bitstream, wherein the current frame comprises a plurality of block groups, each of the plurality of block groups comprises a plurality of blocks, each of the plurality of blocks comprises a plurality of pixels, and the plurality of block groups comprise the first block group and a second block group; and
during a second period, transmitting a second block group bitstream derived from encoding the second block group of the current frame, wherein the second period overlaps the first period;
wherein the encoding process comprises:
during a first time segment of the first period, performing a first in-loop filtering process upon a first group of pixels; and
during a second time segment of the first period, performing a second in-loop filtering process upon a second group of pixels, wherein the second time segment overlaps the first time segment, and a non-zero pixel distance exists between a first edge pixel of the first group of pixels in a filter direction and a second edge pixel of the second group of pixels in the filter direction.
