ABSTRACT:
Techniques and tools for coding/decoding of digital video, and in particular, for determining, signaling and detecting entry points in video streams are described. Techniques and tools described herein are used to embed entry point indicator information in the bitstream that receivers, editing systems, insertion systems, and other systems can use to detect valid entry points in compressed video.
