Additionally, the patterns could be covered with a protection layer.

Abstract: A method for packing a bitstream of scalable video coding (SVC) is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a SVC bitstream is obtained, wherein the SVC bitstream has a plurality of frames, and each of the frames has a base layer and a plurality of enhancement layers. Next, complexity of the frames is analyzed according to the features of a bitstream parameter of the SVC bitstream. Next, the base layers of the frames are selectively packed to form a base layer packet according to the complexity of the frame. Thereafter, the remainder of the SVC bitstream is packed to form a plurality of enhancement layers according to a packing mechanism of the base layer packet.
