Claim Text:
1. A decoder device comprising: a first decoder circuit configured to decode a received bitstream into a stream of binary symbols corresponding to motion vector data and other compressed image data, to reserve space in the stream of binary symbols to insert length fields, to insert the length fields into the stream of binary symbols, each of the length fields being determined by the first decoder circuit and being indicative of a number of consecutive binary symbols that correspond to the motion vector data, and to store the stream of binary symbols in a buffer, wherein the received bitstream is exclusive of the length fields; and a second decoder circuit configured to retrieve the stream of binary symbols from the buffer, to determine, based at least in part on the inserted length fields, consecutive binary symbols that correspond to the motion vector data, to decode the consecutive binary symbols that correspond to the motion vector data via a first decode path, and to decode the binary symbols that correspond to the other compressed image data via a second decode path that is independent of the first decode path, the second decoder circuit being collocated with the first decoder circuit in the decoder device.
