Patent ID: 8755444

Claim:
A method of decoding video data comprising: decoding compressed input video data using an arithmetic coding technique to obtain first decoded data, wherein the arithmetic coding technique does not utilize Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC), and wherein a first rate at which the input video data is decoded using the arithmetic coding technique is based on a bit rate of the input video data; re-encoding the first decoded data using a Huffman coding technique to obtain re-encoded data; storing the re-encoded data in a storage device; decoding the re-encoded data using the Huffman coding technique to obtain second decoded data, wherein a second rate at which the re-encoded data is decoded using the Huffman coding technique is based on the Huffman coding technique; and performing a pixel reconstruction process on the second decoded data, wherein a third rate at which the pixel reconstruction process is performed is based on a given resolution and a frame rate of the input video data, wherein the first rate at which the input video data is decoded using the arithmetic coding technique is different than the third rate at which the pixel reconstruction process is performed, and wherein the second rate at which the re-encoded data is decoded using the Huffman coding technique and the third rate at which the pixel reconstruction process is performed substantially match.
