Abstract
A compressed video decoder receives a stream of compressed video data in a channel buffer, and decompresses it. A portion of the decompressed video data is recompressed as intraframe data to serve as an anchor frame. The intraframe data is motion compensated, and then a reference picture is selected. The reference frame data is decompressed. Next, a region of interest is selected and stored in display memory for the decompressed form. The recompression of data to be used as an anchor frame can be done in a substantially lossless manner by using DCT with the same quantization matrix, quantizer scale, and field/frame coding type.
