Claim Text:
1. A method for clock reference insertion during packetization of an encoded data stream, the method comprising: storing, by an encoding apparatus, a value of each bit rate applied during encoding and a duration of time for which each bit rate is applied; converting, by the encoding apparatus, a clock reference time interval into a clock reference data interval using the value of each bit rate applied and the duration of time for which each bit rate is applied; during packetization and before a buffering of the data stream by the encoding apparatus, using the clock reference data interval to determine where to insert a clock reference into the data stream during packetization buffering, by the encoding apparatus, the data stream after the insertion of the clock reference into the data stream; and upon the sum of the stored durations being greater than or equal to a clock reference time interval:
