The invention relates to a method to reproduce, on at least one client
terminal, at least one data flow comprising a plurality of encoded
entities, each associated with at least one composition time stamp, said
method comprising steps of decoding said flow(s), so as to obtain at
least one decoded flow comprising a plurality of decoded entities, and
composing of said decoded entities, at the times defined by said
composition time stamps. According to the invention, for at least one of
said encoded entities, said decoding step is anticipated with respect to
said composition time stamp, if a composition context associated with
said encoded entity is identical to a current composition context.
