Abstract
A decoder decodes full frame MPEG-2 video by a single method that applies regardless of buffer memory and frame rate conversion considerations. A display control module handles frame rate and field sequence in response to host configuration, trick play command signals, and information in the received bitstream. Pictures are decoded as buffer memory for the decoded pictures becomes available, and picture display attributes are assigned and stored in a table, one string for each decoded picture. Frame rate and field sequence are managed in light of memory constraints, to produce a high quality result without re-decoding data.
