ABSTRACT:
Plurality of encoding methods and apparatus for encoding video data in a manner that makes it well suited for decoding by either regular or downconverting decoders are described. In one embodiment, the selection and/or generation of motion vectors by an encoder is controlled so that only motion vectors having a size that corresponds to an integer multiple of a downsampling rate expected to be used by a downconverting decoder are generated and/or selected. In another embodiment, motion vectors having a size which corresponds to an integer multiple of an expected downsampling rate are preferred over other motion vectors. In various additional encoder embodiments feedback circuitry which models a downconverting decoder, and/or which provides feedback information on downconverted images generated by decoding the compressed video data generated by the encoder using a downconverting decoder, are incorporated into the encoder of the present invention.
