Error concealment for MPEG decoding with personal video recording functionality

摘要

Error concealment for motion picture expert group (MPEG) decoding with personal video recording functionality. Error concealment of MPEG data may take place within various components within playback, recording, reading and writing data systems. The error concealment may be provided within existing systems whose components may not be capable of accommodating errors within MPEG data. In certain embodiments, the available data that contain no errors is maximized to conceal those portions of the data that do include errors. Various layers may be accommodated while performing error concealment, including the MPEG transport stream layer, the video layer, and the audio layer.
