Abstract

A method and system of encoding and decoding digital video content.
The digital video content comprises a stream of pictures which can each be intra, predicted, or bi-predicted pictures. Each of the pictures comprises macroblocks that can be further divided into smaller blocks. The method entails encoding and decoding each picture in said stream of pictures in either frame mode or in field mode.

selectively encoding at least one of said plurality of pictures in a frame coding mode;

selectively encoding at least one of said plurality of pictures in a field coding mode; and computing a first motion vector and a second motion vector that are derived from two associated reference fields for each of said macroblocks, wherein said second motion vector is computed using an offset that is applied to said first motion vector.
