Abstract
A method of modifying a group of pictures (GOP) structure in an MPEG video signal from a low-delay mode bitstream having I and P pictures to a non-low-delay bitstream having I, P and B pictures uses the motion vectors from the low-delay mode bitstream to derive the motion vectors for the non-low-delay mode bitstream. Motion vectors for anchor pictures for the non-low-delay mode bitstream are converted from the motion vectors for the corresponding pictures in the low-delay mode bitstream. Motion vectors for the B pictures in the non-low-delay mode bitstream are converted from the motion vectors for the corresponding P pictures in the low-delay mode bitstream. The converted motion vectors for the non-low-delay mode bitstream are used in recoding an uncompressed video signal derived from the low-delay mode bitstream to produce the non-low-delay mode bitstream.
