1. A method for browsing a video sequence, the video sequence comprising frames that are blockwise encoded, each block comprising an M*M frequency domain coefficient matrix, wherein the coefficients represent vertical and horizontal frequency components, the method comprising steps of determining a spatial and/or temporal reduction level for browsing a plurality of video sequences; determining according to the determined reduction level frames, fields or parts of blocks or macroblocks to be skipped for decoding; decoding simultaneously the remaining data to a plurality of videos with lower spatial and/or temporal resolution; and providing the decoded data for a display, wherein the step of decoding comprises for each video sequence steps of determining for each frequency coefficient F (u,v) a matrix representing the contribution of the frequency coefficient to the time domain pixels of the current block; setting in the matrix the coefficients of at least one column or one row to zero, wherein neighbor columns on both sides of said column or neighbor rows above and below said row are not set to zero; performing inverse quantization and inverse transform using the coefficients of said matrix, wherein time domain pixel blocks with less than M*M pixels are obtained; and generating a video frame from the pixel blocks.
