Abstract
New and improved methods and apparatus for code packing in a digital video system. Among others, a method of transferring a data block to a storage device is disclosed. The storage device can include a plurality of compartments. The method includes receiving a plurality of length values. Each length value can correspond to a data block from a plurality of data blocks. The method further includes filling a first compartment of the storage device with a portion of data from a first data block, searching the length values to identify one of the plurality of data blocks having a length value less than a threshold value, and filling a second compartment with a remaining portion of the data from the first data block. In one embodiment, the second compartment can correspond to the identified data block.
