METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCAPSULATING CODED MULTI-COMPONENT VIDEO

摘要

A method and a device for encapsulating a media entity containing more than one layer into multiple component files, each for one layer, are described along with the corresponding method and device for component file reading. A new box for ISO BMFF and extensions to the Extractor data structure of SVC / MVC file formats are proposed. The new box enables access of referenced component files in parallel with the processing of the current component file. The extractor extensions of the invention allow NAL units referencing across different component files. The present invention enables adaptive HTTP streaming of the media files.
