Abstract
A particular implementation for controlling single program transport streams during remultiplexing to a multiple program transport stream uses a series of leaky bucket buffers to minimize timing artifacts in the multi-program transport stream. Another implementation for controlling the remultiplexing process limits the number of consecutive packets to be transferred from each single program transport stream, or controls the multiplex frequency of each single program transport stream within the multi-program transport stream. An alternative implementation controls the remultiplexing process using multiple program clock reference values such that packets from each single program transport stream are released only after a previous program clock reference value is greater than the system time.
