         Application No. 09/400,960                                                 

         decoded, modified, and coded to obtain coded modified data.  A             
         determination is made as to whether a satisfactory result will be          
         obtained by re-using the set of parameters, which had been                 
         established for decoding the coded data, for decoding the coded            
         modified data.  If so, the established set of parameters is added          
         to the coded modified data for decoding purposes.  If a                    
         satisfactory result will not be obtained by re-using established           
         parameters, a new set of parameters is added to the coded                  
         modified data for decoding.                                                
              Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as                 
         follows:                                                                   
              1.     A method of modifying coded data (CD) which is                 
              accompanied by a set of parameters (PAR) for decoding the             
              coded data (CD), the method comprising the steps of:                  
         decoding (DEC1), at least partially, the coded data                        
              (CD) so as to obtain decoded data (DD);                               
                   modifying (MOD) the decoded data (DD) so as to obtain            
              modified data (MD);                                                   
                   coding (ENC2) the modified data (MD) so as to obtain             
              coded modified data (CMD);                                            
                   examining (EXAM) whether a satisfactory result will              
              be obtained, if the set of parameters (PAR) for decoding the          
              coded data (CD) is applied for decoding (DEC2) the coded              
              modified data (CMD); and                                              



                                         2
