Abstract

Displaying a stream of video data on a display device may be performed by decoding a portion of the video data to form a video frame. A queue time is determined when the video frame should be displayed. The queue time is adjusted by a margin time relative to a next display time to compensate for interrupt jitter, wherein the margin time is less than a period of time between periodic display time events and is larger than a specified interrupt jitter time. A software interrupt event is set to occur corresponding to the adjusted queue time. The video frame is queued in response to occurrence of the software interrupt. The queued video frame is transferred to a display buffer for the display device upon the occurrence of a next display time event after the occurrence of the software interrupt.
