Abstract
In a packet-based video environment, video frame data is compressed according to a block-based vide transform algorithm and fragmented into a sequence of packets. One or more packets are appended with transport header information indicating the place in the sequence for each packet. The packets of compressed video frame data are sent over a network or transmission medium to a remote user creating the possibility that one or more of the packets would be lost. When the packets are received, the transport header is checked to determine if any packets are lost. An extended compressed bitstream is created that includes the compressed video frame data from the packets and bitstream information stream data that identifies which of the video frame data are lost and indicating parameters for decompressing the compressed bitstream. Replacement compressed bitstream data is placed in the compressed bitstream in place of video frame data in the lost packet so that uncompressed video image data can be generated based on the data in the bitstream information stream.
