Patent ID: 8780999

Claim:
A method comprising: producing, with a client device, a multiview video coding (MVC) standard compliant bitstream from a received bitstream comprising a primary sub-bitstream and an embedded sub-bitstream of the primary sub-bitstream, wherein producing the MVC standard compliant bitstream comprises: determining whether a view component of the primary sub-bitstream has a view order index that is greater than a view order index of a view component of the embedded sub-bitstream; when the view order index of the view component of the primary sub-bitstream is greater than the view order index of the view component of the embedded sub-bitstream, adding the view component of the embedded sub-bitstream to the produced bitstream; and when the view order index of the view component of the primary sub-bitstream is not greater than the view order index of the view component of the embedded sub-bitstream, adding the view component of the primary sub-bitstream to the produced bitstream; and outputting the produced bitstream to a video decoder.
