Abstract

See full text

This invention concerns real-time assembly of a compressed audio-visual system data stream (22) so the audio and video data may be subsequently presented in synchronism. Assembly of a system data stream (22) in accordance with present invention interleaves packets of data selected from a compressed audio bitstream (16) with packets of data selected from a compressed video bitstream (18). If frames of video data being assembled into the system data stream (22) advance too far ahead of the audio data being assembled into the system data stream (22), then all the data for a single frame of the video signal is omitted from the system data stream (22). Conversely, if frames of video data being assembled into the system data stream (22) lag too far behind the audio data being assembled into the system data stream (22), then a second copy of all the data for a single frame of the video signal is assembled into the system data stream (22).
