This standard specifies the coded representation of picture information for digital storage media and digital video communication and specifies the decoding process. The representation supports constant bitrate transmission, variable bitrate transmission, random access, channel hopping, scalable decoding, bitstream editing, as well as special functions such as fast forward playback, fast reverse playback, slow motion, pause and still pictures. This standard is forward compatible with GB/T 17191.2 and upward or downward compatible with EDTV, HDTV, SDTV formats.
This standard is primarily applicable to digital storage media, video broadcast and communication. The storage media may be directly connected to the decoder, or via communications means such as busses, LANs, or telecommunications links.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply.
3.1 AC coefficient
Any DCT coefficient for which the frequency in one or both dimensions is non-zero.
3.2 B-field picture
A field structure B-Picture.
3.3 B-frame picture
A frame structure B-Picture.
3.4 Big picture
A coded picture that would cause VBV buffer underflow as defined in C7. Big pictures can only occur in sequences where low_delay is equal to 1. "Skipped picture" is a term that is sometimes used to describe the same concept.
3.5 B-picture; bidirectionally predictive-coded picture
A picture that is coded using motion compensated prediction from past and/or future reference fields or frames.
3.6 Backward compatibility
A newer coding standard is backward compatible with an older coding standard if decoders designed to operate with the older coding standard are able to continue to operate by decoding all or part of a bitstream produced according to the newer coding standard.
3.7 Backward motion vector
