A method and apparatus for efficiently predecoding a hybrid bitstream generated by a plurality of coding schemes are provided. The method includes obtaining a first bit-rate for a boundary between the lower layer bitstream and the upper layer bitstream and a second bit-rate for a boundary between motion...http://www.google.de/patents/US7839929?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7839929 - Method and apparatus for predecoding hybrid bitstream
