Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to an audio/video codec engine system and method for a gaming machine. The method displays content using a multimedia codec engine system with BINK support. The method includes: loading a multimedia file into memory from a disk; decoding a frame from memory to the off-screen buffer when requested by the video engine, wherein decoding a frame from the off-screen buffer requires a seek operation to a proper position in the multimedia file; and performing a draw operation on decoded data from the off-screen buffer that was requested by the video engine, wherein the draw operation may request only a target region of the source resolution to be updated by specifying an update region that is smaller than the source resolution.
