Video processing apparatus and method

Abstract

A video processing apparatus is provided. The video processing apparatus includes a decoder, a controller and a display device. The decoder decodes a bitstream, wherein the bitstream comprises a plurality of frames and each frame in the plurality of frames is sub-divided into a plurality of regions. The controller is coupled to the decoder, for determining whether each region of a current frame in the plurality of frames is an intra-coded region or an inter-coded region with reference to the regions in at least one reference frame in the plurality of frames. The display device is coupled to the controller, for displaying the current frame of the plurality of frames when all regions in the current frame are the intra-coded regions or the inter-coded regions with reference to the regions in the available reference frame.
