Abstract:
A method comprising:a processor decoding a first frame of video data, wherein the decoded first frame of video data is formatted in YUV; the processor decoding first and second audio data into first and second decoded audio data, respectively; generating first audio from the first decoded audio data; determining whether second audio can be generated from the second decoded audio data without a substantial time delay between the time the first audio generation ends and the time the second audio generation begins; in response to determining that the second audio can be generated without the substantial delay, generating second audio from the second decoded audio data and the processor converting the decoded first frame of video data formatted in YUV into a decoded frame of video data formatted in RBG; in response to determining that the second audio cannot be generated without the substantial delay, generating second audio from the second decoded audio data without the processor converting the decoded first frame of video data formatted in YUV into a decoded frame of video data formatted in RBG.
