Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first circuit configured to (i) demultiplex a multimedia stream having one or more video and audio streams and (ii) generate one or more video data signals and one or more audio data signals in response to demultiplexing said multimedia stream, wherein said multimedia stream is independent of embedded time stamps; a second circuit configured to (i) decode said one or more video data signals and said one or more audio data signals and (ii) generate a video current time signal for each decoded video signal and an audio current time signal for each decoded audio signal, wherein said second circuit is configured to generate said audio current time signal based on a total time for each decoded audio signal, said video current time signal, and said video total time for each decoded video signal; and a third circuit configured to synchronize the playback of each decoded audio signal and each decoded video signal with said audio current time signal and said video current time signal.
