Abstract
A system and method for encoding at least one section of data is disclosed. A number reflective of a bit stream length of the data for each section of a group is determined. A function of the numbers for each section of the group is generated and the function value is included in the encoded data for the group of sections. In one embodiment, this is used in the transmission of video signals over a potentially lossy communications channel.
