Abstract

Applying a presentation timestamp to an element of a sequence of sub-titles. A minimum presentation timestamp Tof an element of a sequence of sub-titles N is initialized. The presentation timestamp T(N) of the new element of a sub-title sequence N is compared with the minimum presentation timestamp for sub-titles T. The minimum presentation timestamp for sub-titles Tis applied to the element of a sequence of sub-titles N if the presentation timestamp T(N) of the new sub-titles element is prior to the minimum presentation timestamp for sub-titles T. The minimum presentation timestamp for sub-titles Tfor an element of a sequence of sub-titles N+1 is calculated as a timestamp posterior to the presentation timestamp T(N) of the new sub-titles element.
