The MPEG-2 video bitstream without any Scalable Modes is called the Base layer bitstream. The work involves designing the MPEG-2 video decoder and related interfacing logic for reading the MPEG file from flash memory, storing the decoded data in SDRAM and displaying the video on the SVGA monitor by reading the data from SRAM. We have used the C code as the reference, provided by the MPEG Software Simulation Groups. The bit-by-bit algorithm, for decoding the base layer Mpeg-2 video stream, was abstracted from the C code and the corresponding hardware module for decoding the sequence was...
