Claim Text:
1. A method for decoding video using a microprocessor, the method comprising: (a) receiving a bit stream of a frame of said video that includes at least one slice and at least one tile, where each of said at least one slice is decoded independently of another one of said at least one slice and includes said at least one tile, wherein said at least one tile is characterized that it is a rectangular region of said frame and includes coding units for said decoding arranged in a raster scan order; (b) receiving first information indicating whether location information of said at least one tile is transmitted within said at least one slice; (c) receiving second information suitable for decoding said at least one tile, said second information including a location of said at least one tile; (d) initializing a decoding process at a beginning of each of the at least one tile, the decoding process including ignoring bits in the bit-stream until reading from a pre-defined position; and (e) providing a flag indicating if tiles are being used; wherein a decoder uses the flag to reconstruct the frame of said video that includes the at least one slice and the at least one tile.
