RECLAIMING STORAGE SPACE ON A PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDER USING SCALABLE VIDEO CODING
摘要
<p>The present invention concerns a method and associated apparatus for reclaiming storage space on a personal video recorder using scalable video coding. When the personal video recorder reaches a storage threshold, enhancement layers of lower priority recordings may be removed to reduce the storage 5 space required for continued storage of those recordings. Various priority schemes may be utilized to determine which recordings should undergo layer removal, and which layers should be removed.</p>
