1. A method comprising:
storing a first buffer information for a first picture buffer in a first storage buffer, wherein the first storage buffer is associated with a first temporal level of the first picture buffer, and wherein the first picture buffer corresponds to a first bi-directional coded frame (B frame);
storing a second buffer information for a second picture buffer in a second storage buffer, wherein the second storage buffer is associated with a second temporal level of the second picture buffer, and wherein the second picture buffer corresponds to a first predictive coded frame (P frame);
receiving an instantaneous decoding refresh (IDR) frame insertion request; and
converting the first buffer information from buffer information corresponding to the first B frame into buffer information corresponding to a second P frame in response to receiving the IDR frame insertion request.
