A record layout in a legacy application is defined by the record definition in the source code of the language in which the application was written. For each record in a legacy application, the layout of the record is saved in a language-neutral and architecture neutral format in preparation for a runtime invocation. During runtime, for each record, the legacy application can send architecture-specific binary information as it exists in memory on the legacy computer to a component runtime environment that will construct a compatible object-oriented instance of a class to manipulate the information. Once the information is manipulated, the updated information can be represented to the original legacy application in an architecture-specific binary record layout.

An encoder sends binary information indicating whether a prediction mode is forward or not-forward for one or more macroblocks in an interlaced B-field.

Sending forward / not-forward prediction mode decision information in a compressed bitplane at B-field level can reduce coding overhead for prediction mode coding. A decoder performs corresponding decoding.
