Abstract

See full text

A system and method of compressing original video data expressed in a plurality of digitally coded frames which enable decompression and playback of resulting compressed video data at one of a plurality of frame rates while maintaining temporal fidelity of the frames displayed. Compression includes selecting a plurality of rate streams for the compressed video data, including a highest rate stream including all of the frames of the original video data and a lowest rate stream including a subset of regularly spaced frames of the original video data. Then the initial frame in the original video data is spatially compressed and the resulting compressed data placed in the compressed video data. The initial frame is also saved as a base frame for all rate streams for subsequent temporal compression of the original video data. As frames are retrieved from the original video data in sequence, temporal compression based on frame differencing techniques between the retrieved frame and the base is carried out, with difference frames being stored to the compressed video data. Each difference frame is placed in the resulting compressed video data for later decompression and reproduction.
