Video data stream concept

A method for encoding video content into a video data stream, the method comprising:

• encoding the video content into the video data stream using predictive and entropy coding, in units of slices into which pictures of the video content are spatially sub-divided, using a coding order among the slices, with restricting predictions of the predictive coding and/or entropy coding to the inner of tiles into which the pictures of the video content are spatially sub-divided;
• and
• packetizing the sequence of the slices into payload packets of a sequence of packets of the video data stream in the coding order, the sequence of packets being divided into a sequence of access units so that each access unit collects the payload packets having packetized thereinto slices relating to a respective picture of the video content,
• wherein the sequence of packets has tile identification packets interspersed thereinto between payload packets of one access unit, identifying one or more tiles overlaid by any slice packetized into one or more payload packets immediately following the respective tile identification packet in the sequence of packets.
