That's a matter of on-going debate and a function of several
variables.  Consider that, even though your average rate is the frame
rate, the instantaneous rate may vary quite a bit due to, e.g.,
complexity in encoding a specific frame. Depending on this, you may
need to buffer 2, 3 or even more frames.

Two popular video A/Ds are the TI 5150 and Phillips SAA 7115. They are
called "video decoders" in video processing vernacular. Try searching
TI's website for the DM642 processor, which is their star product (or
was) for performing video processing. They should have lots of app
notes on this topic.

I am beginner studying the  videco codec.
So I am sorry in case of I may have stupid question.
On my way to study the H.263 video coder, I have question how encoder
processes the frame from A/D converter.
I imagine like that.
After raw image signal(R,G,B) from A/D converter, color mapping is
performed.( convert RBG to YCbCr) one frame store the buffer and then
it is encoded.
Simultaneously, next frame is stored in next buffer area. How many
frame is stored to process it as the real time? 2  or 3 frame?
Also, Where I get the such information ( processing method,  popular
video A/D converter)?

Thanks in advance
