Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a method of forming a constant bit rate data stream for distribution to a plurality of receivers, comprising statistically multiplexing a plurality of encoded video programs (110), the improvement comprising after said statistically multiplexing the steps of : inserting a non real time auxiliary data stream to form an intermediate data stream (200) ; and adding location data (300) for the encoded video programs and for the auxiliary data; to form a common data stream for distribution to a plurality of receivers capable of individually extracting selected portions of the common data stream in accordance with the location data.
