Abstract
Apparatus and methods for decoding streaming data containing one or more coded pictures in which each picture contains a plurality of slices and each slice containing a plurality of macroblocks are disclosed. A first decoding subtask is performed on all macroblocks in the coded picture or a section thereof. After performing the first decoding subtask on all macroblocks in the coded picture or a section thereof, a second decoding subtask is performed on all the macroblocks in the coded picture or section thereof. One or more of the first and second tasks includes examining a slice or macroblock within the coded picture to determine if there are any errors, and if an error is present, handling the error.
