Abstract
A method and apparatus in a computer system for decoding and displaying video frames. An estimated number of intraframes which can be decoded in a current interframe run is determined. Based upon the estimated number of intraframes, determining an adjusted time interval in which to display each intraframe in the current interframe run. The intraframes are then displayed at the adjusted time interval in the current interframe run. The adjusted time interval may include equal time periods for displaying the estimated number of intraframes within the current interframe run. Discontinuities in display of moving video sequences can be avoided.
