Abstract

Media synchronization is an important issue in developing multimedia applications. MPEG is an international standard for coding moving pictures and associated audio for multimedia applications. Coded audio, video and other data streams are multiplexed into an MPEG stream. We introduce the syntax of the multiplexed MPEG stream and explain the mechanisms used to maintain media synchronization in a hypothetical model, system target decoder, in which it is assumed that data transfer and decoding are carried out instantaneously. Then we propose extensions to these mechnisms to achieve MPEG stream synchronization in a practical decoder.
