Marking Packets in stream

I want to synchronize packets in TCP stream with the data. In other words,
when the server sends specific video data to the client he would like to add
some "user data" to the packets being sent, which enables the client to know
that this data is now displayed.

Is it possible in TCP streaming?

You would have to put all the data into a single TCP connection, and handle
mux-demux of the substreams yourself. There is no other way to synchronize.
Note that a TCP-tunnel based VPN probably already does that.
