Hi,
i like the idea, i also agree that theora, flac, ... should be added
What about CMML? It just sucks too :) http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/CMML : * ident header packet (binary blob starting with CMML\0\0\0\0) * secondary header (xml, <?xml...) * data packet (xml, <clip...)
8.7. Quicktime / MPEG4
Quicktime lacks an unambigous place for a global header so its outside the scope of this document.
we could add mov to the list of supported containers if we define a chunk for the global header, other codecs have their own codec specific global header chunks too, maybe "glbl" could be used if its not taken yet, but i need to look more carefully at the mov/qt spec so we unambiguosly define and place it
glbl below trak? vmhd/mdhd/smhd/tkhd are leaf Will some Quicktime fanatic speak up? Mike?
about .mp4, that wasnt covered by the quicktime/mov point, it has a ESDS atom into which a global header can be put, but iam not very familiar with the mpeg4-systems / iso-mp4 container specs so i didnt mention it
That ESDS looks HUGE. -- Alex Beregszaszi | alex@fsn.hu | +36 70 3144424
