Short example sentences

A predicted macroblock rarely matches the current picture perfectly, however. (10 words)

Motion vectors (see below) operate solely at the macroblock level. (10 words)

P-frames have one motion vector per macroblock, relative to the previous anchor frame. (14 words)

Longer example sentences

The encoder compares the current frame with adjacent parts of the video from the anchor frame (previous I- or P- frame) in a diamond pattern, up to a (encoder-specific) predefined radius limit from the area of the current macroblock. (40 words)

If a match is found, only the direction and distance (i.e. the vector of the motion) from the previous video area to the current macroblock need to be encoded into the inter-frame (P- or B- frame). (38 words)

The difference between a P-frame and its anchor frame is calculated using motion vectors on each macroblock of the frame (see below). (23 words)

Example sentences (9)

A predicted macroblock rarely matches the current picture perfectly, however.

For clarity, the 8x8 macroblock in this example is magnified by 10x using bilinear interpolation.

If a match is found, only the direction and distance (i.e. the vector of the motion) from the previous video area to the current macroblock need to be encoded into the inter-frame (P- or B- frame).

Motion vectors (see below) operate solely at the macroblock level.

P-frames have one motion vector per macroblock, relative to the previous anchor frame.

The difference between a P-frame and its anchor frame is calculated using motion vectors on each macroblock of the frame (see below).

The differences between the estimated matching area, and the real frame/macroblock is called the prediction error.

The encoder compares the current frame with adjacent parts of the video from the anchor frame (previous I- or P- frame) in a diamond pattern, up to a (encoder-specific) predefined radius limit from the area of the current macroblock.

This set of 6 blocks, with a resolution of 16x16, is called a macroblock.
