Abstract

L'invention porte sur des techniques de traitement d'une séquence vidéo sélectionnée (par exemple, une page de guide interactif des programmes (GIP) désirée). Selon ce procédé, un premier flux associé à un premier identificateur de paquets (PID) est reçu et décodé pour extraire une première séquence vidéo qui comprend l'arrière-plan de la séquence vidéo sélectionnée (par exemple, une page de transition de GPI de fond, sans les données du guide). La première séquence vidéo est ensuite affichée. Puis, un second flux associé à un second PID est reçu et décodé pour extraire la séquence vidéo sélectionnée. La séquence vidéo sélectionnée est ensuite affichée. La première séquence vidéo peut être reçue, décodée et affichée en réponse à la réception d'un changement de canal. Les première et seconde séquences vidéo sélectionnées peuvent chacune être décodées en utilisant un codage image par image ou un codage séquence par séquence.
