Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the mapping of packet identifiers to a constant value. A multimedia device may receive one or more pieces of multimedia content and may select a constant PID value for each of one or more component streams associated with the content. The multimedia device may map PIDs of each respective one of the one or more component streams to a constant PID value designated for the component type of the respective component stream. The multimedia device may replace the PIDs of each component stream with constant PID values such that each component stream type includes the same PID value for the entirety of the stream. The modified component streams, each having continuity with respect to PID values, may be stored as a recording or output to a device for viewing.
