Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0211517A2] Techniques for processing a selected video sequence (e.g., a desired IPG page). In accordance with a method, a first stream associated with a first packet identifier (PID) is received and decoded to retrieve a first video sequence that includes the background for the selected video sequence (e.g., a transition background IPG page, without the guide data). The first video sequence is then provided for display. Thereafter, a second stream associated with a second PID is received and decoded to retrieve the selected video sequence. The selected video sequence is then provided for display. The first video sequence may be received, decoded, and provided for display. The first video sequence may be received, decoded, and provided for display in response to receiving a channel change. The first and selected video sequences can each be encoded using picture-based encoding or slicebased encoding.
