RESIZING OF BUFFER IN ENCODER AND DECODER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve buffering efficiency in an encoded system.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a method for buffering encoded pictures. The method includes an encoding step for forming encoded pictures in an encoder. The method also includes a transmission step for transmitting the encoded pictures to a decoder as transmission units, a buffering step for buffering the transmission units transmitted to the decoder in a buffer, and a decoding step for decoding the encoded pictures for forming decoded pictures. The buffer size is defined so that the total size of at least two transmission units is defined and the maximum buffer size is defined on the basis of the total size.
