A video encoding method is provided, which includes: deciding a first search window of a first macroblock in a reference image, and deciding a second search window of a second macroblock in the reference image, wherein the first search window is at least partially overlapped with the second search window; reading the first search window and the second search window from a memory and executing a first encoding stage having motion estimation and binarization encoding; storing an encoding result of the first encoding stage in the memory; reading the encoding result from the memory and executing a second encoding stage. The second encoding stage has a context entropy coding, and an encoding order of the context entropy coding is different from that of the motion estimation, and the first encoding stage is executed in parallel with the second encoding stage. Accordingly, a bandwidth demand of the memory is decreased.

Video encoding method and video encoding device

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention are direct to a method for generating a resampling reference picture and an apparatus and video decoding system using this method. The video image decoding system is used to decode a bit stream, so as to obtain a current frame. The method for generating a resampling reference picture includes following steps: (a) looking ahead specific information of next x frames of the current frame in the bit stream; (b) determining whether to generate a resampling reference picture according to the specific information of the next x frames.
