  • Method and system for decoding digital video content involving arbitrarily accessing an encoded bitstream
    Patent number: 8774273
    Abstract: A technique for decoding an encoded bitstream of digital video content involves decoding a bitstream, wherein decoding the bitstream generates decoded syntax elements and decoded pixel information, creating an access point in the currently decoded bitstream by saving state information related to the decoding, saving the decoded syntax elements, and saving the decoded pixel information, and synchronizing a subsequent decoding operation to the access point utilizing the saved state information, the saved decoded syntax elements, and the saved decoded pixel information.
