Claim:
1. A method of compressing an image frame in an image or video system, the method comprising: receiving the image frame; dividing the image frame into multiple slices, wherein the multiple slices comprise slice one and slice two; dividing each slice into multiple partitions; encoding, by a processing circuit, each partition for each slice to generate a bitstream of said each partition for each slice, wherein said encoding for the slice one starts before said encoding for the slice two, and at least one partition of the slice two is encoded before encoding a last partition in the slice one; storing the bitstreams associated with the multiple partitions from the multiple slices in one or more stream buffers, wherein the bitstreams associated with the multiple partitions from each slice are packed into segments, wherein each segment has a fixed size; and providing interleaved segments.
