Claim:
A method of generating multiview video data, comprising: constructing, with a source device, a multiview video coding (MVC) extension descriptor comprising individual view order index values for each view included in a corresponding MPEG-2 (Motion Picture Experts Group) System standard bitstream, wherein the bitstream comprises a first view of a scene associated with a first view order index and a second view of the scene associated with a second view order index, wherein the first view order index and the second view order index are non-consecutive, wherein the individual view order index values comprise a first view order index value for the first view order index and a second view order index value for the second view order index, wherein the second view order index value occurs immediately after the first view order index value in the MVC extension descriptor, and wherein a difference between the second view order index value and the first view order index value is greater than one; and outputting the MVC extension descriptor.
