1. In a computing system that implements a video decoder, a method comprising:

  • receiving at least part of a bitstream for a video clip;

    determining first memory usage settings for decoding of the video clip;

    determining second memory usage settings different than the first memory usage settings, the second memory usage settings indicating one or more theoretical limits on memory usage according to a standard or format specification for decoding of the video clip; and

    during the decoding of the video clip, adapting memory usage based at least in part on the first memory usage settings and the second memory usage settings, wherein the memory usage is initially set according to the first memory usage settings, and wherein the memory usage is increased during the decoding subject to the one or more theoretical limits in the second memory usage settings.
