Direct macroblock mode techniques for high performance hardware motion compensation are described. An embodiment includes a hardware motion compensation graphics display device driver. More specifically, an embodiment mitigates a macroblock data parsing bottleneck in the display device driver by directly generating macroblock instructions and storing them in a dedicated buffer. For example, an embodiment includes an independent direct memory access instruction execution buffer for macroblock instructions separate from the direct memory access instruction execution buffer for all other hardware motion compensation instructions. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Direct macroblock mode techniques for high performance hardware motion compensation

A system for associating a selected object on any printed material to a valid response provided by a computer system includes a maker component to define an object on a page of printed material, and to link a position of the object on the page, the contents of the page, and the response to be performed by a computer system. The system also includes a pointing device to determine a position on the printed material, a communicating device to transmit the position to the computer system, and a player component to correlate the position to selected digital content associated with the printed materials, the selected digital content being accessible by the computer system; and to provide a valid response to a user based at least in part on the position and the correlated content, wherein the valid response includes at least one of rendering audio content, rendering video content, rendering image content, and performing an action by the computer system.
