METHOD FOR ADDRESSING A BITSTREAM RECORDING

摘要

In bitstream recording presentation data is organised into Video Object Units. These have a variable size but have also a variable duration. To allow access to any Video Object Unit in the bitstream a mapping list is used which is based on pieces (SOBU#n) of the bitstream of constant size per piece. The mapping list additionally contains for each of these pieces a specific delta duration (IAPAT#n) which indicates the difference between the arrival time of the first packet of a piece and the arrival time of the packet following immediately the last packet of that piece, and contains an initialisation value (IAPAT#0) which allows to have a share of equal bits between a predetermined amount of MSBs of application time stamps (ATS) and the same amount of LSBs of the summation of said delta time durations (IAPAT#n).
