Patent attributes
A method for coding video frames for forming a scalable, compressed video sequence comprising video frames coded according to at least a first and a second frame format. The video frames of the first frame format are independent video frames, and the video frames of the second frame format are predicted from at least one of the other video frames. The video sequence has a first sub-sequence determined therein, at least part of the first sub-sequence being formed by coding at least video frames of the first frame format; and with at least a second sub-sequence, at least part of which is formed by coding video frames of the second frame format, and at least one video frame of the second sub-sequence having been predicted from at least one video frame of the first sub-sequence. Frame identifier data of the second sub-sequence is determined into the video sequence.
