Abstract
System and methods are provided for modifying a compressed video data stream to match the available video decoding capability of a target decoder. Compressed video content can be embedded in another compressed bitstream to allow more efficient usage of available channel bandwidth. Format conversion allows flexible transmission of video content even if the original format and available decompression capabilities are mismatched.
