Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I1, P1, B1, B2, B3, B4, P2, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

A device for coding video data is configured to determine that a current block of video data is coded using an intra prediction mode; add an intra prediction mode of a first neighboring block of the current block to a most probable mode candidate list for the current block; add an intra prediction mode for a second neighboring block of the current block to the most probable mode candidate list for the current block; add an intra prediction mode for a third neighboring block of the current block to the most probable mode candidate list for the current block; and code the current block of video data using an intra prediction mode.

An image processing device includes a multimedia intellectual property (IP) block which processes image data including a first component and a second component; a memory; and a frame buffer compressor (FBC) which compresses the image data to generate compressed data and stores the compressed data in the memory. The frame buffer compressor includes a logic circuit which controls a compression sequence of the first component and the second component of the image data.

An example method for performing playout of multiple media recordings includes receiving a plurality of media recordings, indexing the plurality of media recordings for storage into a database, dividing each of the plurality of media recordings into multiple segments, and for each segment of each media recording, (i) comparing the segment with the indexed plurality of media recordings stored in the database to determine one or more matches to the segment, and (ii) determining a relative time offset of the segment within each matched media recording. Following, the method includes performing playout of a representation of the plurality of media recordings based on the relative time offset of each matched segment.

Encoding efficiency for attribute information in point cloud information is improved. A point cloud encoding device includes a subsampling unit configured to preserve chroma signals of some points in a point cloud to be encoded and discard chroma signals of remaining points other than those points, and an attribute information encoding unit configured to encode the chroma signals of those points in the point cloud to be encoded and luma signals of all points.
