A method of MPEG-2 video variable length decoding in software

摘要

A method achieves high performance MPEG-2 video variable length decoding as to improve MPEG-2 video decoding process on the whole. The method includes parsing bits, Huffman code decoding for macroblock address increment, decoding motion code, and decoding macroblocks including intra and non-intra macroblocks. This is suitable to any application that are compliant with MPEG-2 MP@ML or MP@ HL video standard. For example, in PC-DTV receiver application, with properly configured PC, one can receive DTV program in real time.
