Patent ID: 8503541

Claim:
A method for determining timing information from a Moving Pictures Experts Group-2 (MPEG-2) stream carrying Advanced Video Coding (AVC) content, comprising: receiving an initial access unit and a next access unit from said MPEG-2 stream at a computing device, wherein said initial access unit includes a presentation time stamp and said next access unit does not include a presentation time stamp; determining whether said MPEG-2 stream contains a picture order count (POC) parameter in the video and whether said MPEG-2 stream contains signaling in a Program Map Table (PMT) or a Program Stream Map (PSM) of said MPEG-2 stream indicating the POC parameter is coded as a temporal POC parameter; and if said MPEG-2 stream contains said temporal POC parameter, employing said computing device to use said temporal POC parameter to compute a presentation time for said next access unit.
