Under MPEG 2 systems standard there potentially two ways to do this.

1. One can either define a user private table. See Table 2-26 : table_id 0x40-0xFE See. section 2.4.4.10 Syntax of the Private section.

2. Or one can define user private stream. See Table 2-29 stream id under PES packet as 0x80 to 0xFF).

Refer to ISO/IEC 13818-1 MPEG 2 Systems.
