Coding unit bit number limitation

An apparatus, comprising:

• a video decoder to access a bitstream of compressed video data, the compressed video data including at least one coding unit of coded video data;
• the video decoder to determine a bit number limit associated with the coding unit, wherein to determine the bit number limit the video decoder is to multiply a raw data size of the coding unit by a factor of ( 5/3).

A method, comprising:

• accessing a bitstream of compressed video data, the compressed video data including at least one coding unit of coded video data;
• and
• determining a bit number limit associated with the coding unit, wherein determining the bit number limit includes multiplying a raw data size of the coding unit by a factor of ( 5/3).

At least one machine readable medium having stored thereon one or more instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• access a bitstream of compressed video data, the compressed video data including at least one coding unit of coded video data;
• and
• determine a bit number limit associated with the coding unit, wherein to determine the bit number limit includes multiplying a raw data size of the coding unit by a factor of ( 5/3).

An apparatus, comprising:

• a video encoder to generate at least one coding unit of coded video data, the video encoder to generate a bitstream including the at least one coding unit, the video encoder to generate syntax for the bitstream, wherein the syntax includes at least one indicator specifying a raw data size of the coding unit, wherein the indicator is to be accessed by a decoder so that the decoder may determine the raw data size and may allocate a buffer for buffering the coding unit wherein the buffer has a size of at least the raw data size multiplied by a factor of ( 5/3).
