ABSTRACT:
A digital video format converter and method therefor includes a first and second converter. The first converter receives a digital video signal and converts, in the frequency domain, inter-coded pictures in the digital video signal into intra-coded pictures. The first converter performs motion compensation in the frequency domain on the inter-coded pictures in the digital video signal to convert the inter-coded pictures into intra-coded pictures. The second converter down converts output of the first converter. Further signal processing then completes placing the digital video signal output by the second converter in a format acceptable to standard lower definition digital decoders.
