Abstract
This invention is a method of memory saving in compressed video decoding. For each group of pictures the method determines whether less than the maximum number N reference frames are needed for decoding. If so, then a memory is configuring for the needed number M reference frames less than N. If not, the memory is configured for N reference frames. The group of pictures is decoding the group of pictures using the configured number of reference frames.
