8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: parsing, performed by a third parser processor, a second full row of coding blocks of the same plurality of coding blocks of the picture in the raster scan order by using the list of identified coding blocks and the plurality of subsets of entropy coding state data stored in the data repository to produce a second portion of the parsed video bitstream, wherein the second full row is a neighboring row of a first full row parsed by the second processor, the parsing of the second full row by the third parser processor begins after the second parser processor has parsed a first and second coding block in the first full row, and the parsing by the third parser processor continues in parallel with the parsing by the second parser processor; and parsing, performed by the second parser processor, a third full row of coding blocks of the same plurality of coding blocks in the raster scan order to produce a third portion of the parsed video bitstream, wherein the third full row is a neighboring row of the second full row, the parsing of the third full row by the second parser processor begins after the third parser processor has parsed a first and second coding block in the second full row, and the parsing by the second parser processor continues in parallel with the parsing by the third parser processor.
