Apparatus, system, and method for video encoding and loading tape cartridges

A system comprising:

• a video encoder including:
• a buffer;
• and
• a physical processor configured to:
• receive video data to be encoded;
• determine pixels for a first transform unit (TU) of a first prediction unit (PU) of a square shape of the video data;
• store the pixels in the buffer;
• perform intra-prediction for a second PU by reusing the stored pixels for a second TU of the second PU;
• and
• encode the video data based on the intra-prediction performed for the second PU;
• or
• a tape holder apparatus including:
• a cubical tape holder, dimensioned to hold multiple tape cartridges in a stack, wherein a tape cartridge is inserted into an open top of the cubical tape holder from a horizontal orientation;
• a horizontal slot, open along a bottom edge of two consecutive faces of the cubical tape holder, dimensioned to permit a single tape cartridge at a bottom of the stack to be pushed out from the cubical tape holder;
• and
• a handle vertically oriented and extruded from a third face of the cubical tape holder.
