Priority Encoding Transmission (PET) is an encoding scheme which provides multiple levels of redundancy in order to protect the different contents of a data set according to their importance. The task of optimally assigning redundancies for the PET encoding scheme is investigated for the special case of MPEG-1 encoded video sequences. The prerequisites for this optimization problem and the way of proceeding for its solution are outlined and several suggestions for further improvements are given. ________________________________________ 1)International Computer Science Institute, 1947 Center Street, Berkeley, CA 94704-1198, Suite 600, Fax: 510-643-7684.
