Abstract

A method of processing video information includes scaling the video information using a first number of fields if a field indicator indicates the first number of fields and scaling the video information using a second number of fields if the field indicator indicates the second number of fields. The video information is searched for motion. The field indicator is set to indicate the first number of fields if the video information includes a first amount of motion, and the field indicator is set to indicate the second number of fields if the video information includes a second amount of motion.
