Method and apparatus for encoding/decoding metadata

摘要

Provided are a meta data encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The meta data decoding method includes decoding a media signal containing a media object, and decoding meta data corresponding to the media object. During the decoding of the meta data signal, decoding of the meta data is skipped when the meta data that is to be decoded is identical to already decoded meta data.

1. A method of decoding meta data, the method comprising:
receiving a stream in which a media signal packet containing a media object and a meta data packet corresponding to the media object are mixed together; and parsing, from the stream, the media signal packet, wherein the parsing of the meta data packet is not performed if a predetermined cycle is identical to a previous cycle of mixing the meta data packet into the stream.
