Claim:
1. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising: decoding, from one or more respective decoding unit information supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages, a unique identifier for each decoding unit of one or more decoding units in an access unit, wherein an identifier for one decoding unit is different than an identifier for any other decoding unit in the access unit, wherein each of the one or more decoding units includes a plurality of network abstraction layer (NAL) units, and wherein the unique identifier for each of the one or more decoding units is an index of each of the one or more decoding units into a list of all decoding units in the access unit in decoding order; determining, for the one or more decoding units in the access unit, which of the one or more decoding units include which of the plurality of NAL units based on the unique identifier for each of the one or more decoding units in the access unit; and decoding the plurality of NAL units of each of the one or more decoding units in the access unit, based on the determination, to reconstruct at least one picture.
