| 1. A method of streaming multimedia data over a network having a variable bandwidth, the method comprising:
encoding data coming from a multimedia source,
supplying a set of encoded streams formed with stream elements containing encoded multimedia data, each encoded stream being
encoded at a different predetermined bit rate,
determining common values for at least a part of the decoding parameters suitable for at least a group of streams of various
predetermined bit rates within the set of encoded streams so that a decoder can use the common decoding parameter values for
decoding all stream elements from all streams within the group of streams, and
building the group of streams to which common decoding parameter values are assigned.
