This invention relates to a video receiver, which is operable to receive video bitstreams from a video transmitter over, for example, a wireless high definition transmission link. The received video bitstreams comprises a plurality of video frames and corresponding coding information. The coding information such as, for example, block motion vectors, block coding modes, quantization levels, and/or quantized residual data, is extracted for performing frame-rate up-conversion on the received plurality of video frames. The coding information is generated at the video transmitter via entropy decoding on a compressed video from a video feed from, for example, an IP TV network. When an uncompressed video is received, the video receiver is operable to perform frame-rate up-conversion on the received uncompressed video using extracted block motion vectors and associated confidence-consistence measure. When a compressed video is received, the video receiver is configured to perform video decompression on the received compressed video prior to the frame-rate up-conversion.
