Abstract
Method for re-multiplexing a plurality of streams including the steps of: compressing each of the streams at a plurality of compression rates, generating a base layer and a plurality of supplemental layers for each of the streams and storing each in a level ordered queue array, retrieving data from the base layer queue and retrieving data from subsequent level queues, so as to fill out the available overall bandwidth.
