Patent ID: 8311111

Claim:
A method for decoding a stream of encoded video data, the stream of encoded video data including at least one frame divided into a plurality of partitions, comprising: identifying partition data information indicative of a partition location for each of at least some of the plurality of partitions; identifying, based on the partition data information, at least a first one of the plurality of partitions that includes at least one row of blocks; identifying, based on the partition data information, at least a second one of the plurality of partitions that includes at least one row of blocks, wherein the first partition and the second partition have each been individually compressed using at least a first encoding scheme and a second encoding scheme; decoding, using a first processor, the first partition; and decoding, using a second processor, the second partition, wherein the decoding of the second partition is offset by a specified number of blocks so that at least a portion of the output from the decoding of the first partition is used as input in decoding the second partition in accordance with the first encoding scheme.
