Abstract:
1. A method for decoding a bitstream in a decoding system, comprising the steps of: (A) accepting a common slice containing a plurality of macroblocks at an input to said decoding system, wherein said plurality of macroblocks switch from non-I_PCM mode macroblocks to I_PCM mode macroblocks in macroblock scan order; (B) generating a first signal comprising said non-I_PCM mode macroblocks and a second signal comprising said I_PCM mode macroblocks using a parser, said parser parsing the common slice in said bitstream, including parsing a first syntax element indicating an end of said slice and a second syntax element representing said I_PCM mode macroblocks, said first or second syntax element following an entropy coding termination; (C) generating a third signal using a decoder, said decoder entropy decoding said first signal; and (D) generating a video signal by combining said second signal and said third signal.
