A decoding method for unary/korder exponential Golomb (UEGk) codes is provided. The first step is a receiving step: receiving N bits from an input stream and updating a bit count. If the N bits are all one, the receiving step is re-performed. If the N bits includes zero, a searching step is performed to find a first value based on the bit count. Subsequently, according to the bit count and a threshold value, a remaining bit number M is calculated. A second value is generated based on M remaining bits received from the input stream. Then, the first value and the second value are added, so as to generate an index.

A video codec method is provided, for processing video data processed by a Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) operation, comprising: (a) if a transformation matrix having a plurality of coefficients comprises at least one non-integer coefficient among the coefficients, multiplying the transformation matrix by a multiplication factor &#x3b1; to make all coefficients of the transformation matrix integers, (b) estimating a compensation set, (c) performing a Column in Row out IDCT two-dimensional operation on the video data according to the transformation matrix and the compensation set, to obtain a compensated two-dimension operation result, (d) selectively dividing the compensated two-dimension operation result by &#x3b1;to obtain an IDCT operation result.
