Method of processing multimedia content description data sets, and corresponding apparatus

A computer program (12) adapted to process multimedia content description data sets in order to deliver a plurality of output data sets (141, 142, . . . , 14n) from a single input data set (10), the program being characterized in that it comprises:

• means (30) for reading a set of priority coefficients (16) allocated to at least some of the description data in the input data set (10);
• means (30) for reading a set of priority coefficient thresholds (18) associated with a predetermined number of output data sets (141, 142, . . . , 14n);
• and
• means (34, 36) for distributing data to the output data sets (141, 142, . . . , 14n) as a function of the priority coefficients (16) allocated to the elements of the input data sets and as a function of the thresholds (18) associated with each of the output data sets.
