Abstract

Transmitting and receiving video data includes an encoder storing macroblocks in a plurality of reference buffers, the encoder transmitting macroblocks encoded relative to each of the reference buffers, a decoder receiving the macroblocks, and, in response to the decoder indicating an error with respect to a particular macroblock corresponding to a first one of the buffers, the encoder using a second one of the buffers for error recovery if there is no error associated with the second buffer. In response to the decoder indicating an error with respect to a particular macroblock and all of the buffers having errors associated therewith, the encoder may transmit at least one macroblock that is encoded independent of any other macroblocks.
