Abstract

A method and apparatus for efficiently predecoding a hybrid bitstream generated by a plurality of coding schemes are provided. The method includes obtaining a first bit-rate for a boundary between the lower layer bitstream and the upper layer bitstream and a second bit-rate for a boundary between motion information and texture information of the upper layer bitstream from the input hybrid bitstream, determining the target bit-rate according to variable network circumstances, and when the target bit-rate is between the first and second bit-rates, skipping the motion information of the upper layer bitstream and truncating all bits of the texture information of the upper layer bitstream from the tail, except bits corresponding to the difference between the target bit-rate and the first bit-rate.
