Video Compressed Meta Data

Christian Kothe edited this page Feb 10, 2022 · 3 revisions

This page specifies the meta-data for compressed video recordings.

If a stream has the content-type VideoCompressed, we recommend that meta-data about the stream adheres to the structure and naming laid out in the following. While most meta-data is optional, at least the field encoding/codec must be present.

<encoding>           # specification of how each sample (frame) is encoded
  <codec>            # must be present; this is typically the FourCC code of the codec used
</encoding>

# All remaining fields (encoding, display, content, ...): same as in VideoRaw.
