A system and method is provided for switching between various VBI encoding standards of an MPEG2 digital television signal in order to obtain correct and virtually seamless VBI data. The decoded VBI data is then re-encoded into an NTSC video signal (24) for presentation to an NTSC display (26). The system and method utilizes valid user data (52) as defined in the MPEG2 video system specifications and the ATSC standard for switching among various VBI data encoding formats. In this manner, it is possible to reduce un-wanted switching and eliminate the loss of data for un-wanted switching.
