The invention is a technique and apparatus for re-assembling transmitted portions of files or sub-files (410, 420, 430, 440), into a viewable file (400). The transmitting device passes the information regarding the file dividing process to the receiver so that the sub-files can be assembled (1130) or stitched (1120) together properly. The media player (1140) in the receiver uses the attached instructions to assemble the sub-files into one whole piece for viewing.
