Claim Text:
1. A method of processing video data, the method comprising: receiving a bitstream of encoded video data; selecting a sub-bitstream extraction mode from a plurality of sub-bitstream extraction modes, wherein each of the sub-bitstream extraction modes defines views or layers having coded pictures that are to be extracted from the bitstream to allow decoding of target output views or target output layers, wherein each coded picture comprises one or more video coding layer network abstraction layer (VCL NAL) units of a view or a layer within an access unit, wherein one or more of the coded pictures in a view or layer are inter-predicted with a picture in another view or layer, and wherein each of the sub-bitstream extraction modes for views defines a manner in which texture view components and depth view components are extracted; and extracting, from the bitstream, a sub-bitstream in the manner defined by the selected sub-bitstream extraction mode.
