Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving association information for a program, the program comprised of a multiplexed plurality of streams (MPOS), the association information providing a plurality of stream associations, wherein each respective stream association consists of a stream type and a respectively corresponding identifier for packets of the stream in the MPOS (IFPOTSITM), wherein the stream type of a first stream association and a second stream association of the plurality of stream associations corresponds to video and represents syntax and semantics of video specifications used to encode the first stream and the second stream, wherein the stream types of the first stream association and the second stream association are represented by a first stream type value and a second stream type value, wherein the stream type of the first stream association has a first unique first packet identifier (PID) and the stream type of the second stream association has a second unique PID, and wherein the IFPOTSITMs for the first and second stream associations are different, and wherein penetration of a DHCT by at least one of a first and second plurality of encoded pictures associated with the first stream and the second stream is rejected and penetration by at least one of the first and second plurality of encoded pictures to penetrate the DHCT to await processing is allowed based at least in part on the stream type value of the first stream association and the stream type value of the second stream association; and receiving a transport stream comprising the first stream multiplexed with the second stream of the MPOS, the second video stream complementary to the first stream, wherein the first stream comprises a first representation of the program and a combination of the first and second streams comprise a second representation of the program, wherein a compressed picture of the first stream is interspersed between two or more consecutive compressed pictures of the second stream, wherein the number of consecutive compressed pictures of the first stream is equal to the number of consecutive compressed pictures of the second stream.
