    Publication number: 20140064369
    Abstract: Motion vectors of a first reference frame are permitted to point to a plurality of further reference frames. A method of storing the motion vectors comprises, when a block of the first reference frame has two motion vectors initially, selecting one of the two motion vectors, the non-selected motion vector not being stored. The selected motion vector may be scaled. This can reduce the motion vector memory size.
