Abstract
A method in a data processing system for locating a correct synchronization point in a data stream containing a plurality of video data packets and a plurality of audio data packets. A data stream is monitored for an audio synchronization factor within an audio data packet and for a video synchronization factor within a video data packet. In response to detecting a video synchronization factor in the video data packet, a first audio data packet from the plurality of audio data packets after the video data packet is examined to determine whether the first audio data packet contains an audio synchronization factor. In response to detecting an audio synchronization factor in the audio data packet, a data packet immediately following the audio data packet is examined to determine whether the data packet is a video data packet containing a video synchronization factor. The synchronization point is located in the video data packet in response detecting an audio synchronization factor in the first audio data packet after the video data packet containing the video synchronization factor. The synchronization point is located in the audio data packet in response to detecting the video synchronization factor in a video data packet immediately after the audio data packet. The synchronization point is used to set a start point to begin presentation of the audio and video data from the data stream.
