ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the method includes obtaining a reference picture list including multiple reference pictures, and obtaining a field reference picture index associated with the current field macroblock. A frame reference picture index is determined based on the field reference picture index divided by 2, and a field reference picture is selected based on the frame reference picture index and the field reference picture index.
