METHOD OF PROCESSING DIGITAL VIDEO DATA AND IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE

A method of processing digital video data is disclosed. The method comprises continuously capturing digital video data representing image frames. While capturing the digital video data, the digital video data is encoded into a sequence of encoded image frames, the sequence comprising key frames and delta frames, and storing the sequence of encoded image frames. It is then determined that the stored sequence of encoded image frames is to be entropy coded and, as a consequence, entropy coding the sequence of encoded image frames into an entropy coded sequence of image frames and storing the entropy coded sequence of image frames.
