FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method comprises: decoding the duration between the time of removal of the first decoding unit (DU) from the buffer of the first decoding unit (DU) in the access unit (AU) and the time of removal from the DU of the second DU, the second DU being the next to the first DU in decoding order and is in the same AU as the first DU; Determining the removal time from the DU of the first DU based, at least in part, on the decoded duration; And during the deletion from the DU, deleting the video data associated with the first DU from the DU, and decoding the video data associated with the first DU, the second DU immediately following the first DU in the AU in decoding order.
EFFECT: signalling and deducing the time to delete encoded pictures from the buffer when encoding video.
