Abstract
A method for executing video encoding operations. The method includes encoding an incoming video stream into a plurality of macro blocks by using a video encoder and receiving a box out slice map specification for the plurality of macro blocks. The box out slice map specification is converted to a foreground-background slice map specification. The plurality of macro blocks are then processed in accordance with the foreground-background specification and by using a common hardware encoder front end.
