`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions, and listings. of claims in this
`
`Application.
`
`1. (Original) A method performed by a decoding device, comprising:
`
`receiving encoded data comprising a first portion that is encoded in accordance with a first
`
`codec and a second portion that is encoded in accordance with a second codec;
`
`decoding the first portion of the encoded data in accordance with the first codec to obtain
`
`decoded data;
`
`determining that
`
`the decoded data includes supplemental
`
`information that
`
`indicates a
`
`transition point after which the encoded data transitions to the second portion; and
`
`decoding the second portion of the encoded data in accordance with the second c-odec based
`
`on the supplemental information.
`
`2. (Original) The method of claim 1, wherein the encoded data comprises at least one of
`
`encoded video data or encoded audio data.
`
`3. (Currently Amended)
`
`The method of claim I, wherein the first portion comprises
`
`one or more first pictures that are encoded in accordance with the first codecl and
`
`wherein the second portion comprises one or more second pictures that are encoded in
`
`accordance with the second codec.

`
`4. (Original) The method of claim 3, wherein the supplemental information is located after
`
`a last picture in a sequence of the one or more first pictures.
`
`5. (Original) The method of claim 3, wherein the supplemental information is located after
`
`a picture before a last picture, in a sequence of the one or more first pictures.
`
`6. (Original) The method of claim 5, wherein the supplemental
`
`information further
`
`indicates a number of pictures of the one or more first pictures that are to be decoded before the
`
`transition point.
`
`7. (Currently Amended)
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the Supplemental information
`
`
`[[also]] further indicates at least one of:
`
`the second codec to be used to decode the second portion of the encoded data;
`
`one or more of a profile, level, and tier of the second portion of the encoded data; or
`
`a resolution of the second portion ofthe encoded data.
`
`8. (Currently Amend-ed)
`
`The method of claim I, wherein the supplemental information
`
`[[is]] comprises a Supplemental Enhancement Information message.
`
`9. (Currently Amended)
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the supplemental information
`
`[[is]] comprises User Data.

`
`inserting supplemental information in a first portion of data, the first portion to be encoded
`
`in accordance with a first codec, the supplemental information indicating a transition point after
`
`which a second portion of data is to be encoded in accordance with a second codec; and
`
`inserting a marker in the first portion of data, the marker corresponding to the transition
`
`point.

`
`The method of claim 10, wherein the first portion comprises
`
`one or more first pictures that are to be encoded in accordance with the first codec& and
`
`wherein the second portion comprises one or more second pictures that are to be encoded in
`
`accordance with the second codec.
`
`13. (Original) The method of claim 12, wherein the supplemental information is inserted
`
`after a last picture in a sequence of the one or more first pictures.
`
`14. (Original) The method of claim 12, wherein the supplemental information is inserted
`
`after a picture before a last picture in a sequence of the one or more first pictures.
