Abstract
A vide signal encoding system includes apparatus for segmenting encoded video data into transport blocks for signal transmission. The transport block format enhances signal recovery at the receiver by virtue of providing header data from which a receiver can determine re-entry points into the data stream on the occurrence of a loss or corruption of transmitted data. The number of re-entry points are maximized by providing secondary transport headers embedded within encoded video data in respective transport blocks.
