  • Publication number: 20240397127
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of a method for encapsulating media data as fragments, each fragment comprising metadata and media data, the metadata describing encapsulation of the media data. After having obtained second media data to be encapsulated within a second fragment and second metadata describing encapsulation of the second media data, it is determined whether some of the second metadata are identical to some of first metadata belonging to a first fragment and describing encapsulation of first media data within the first fragment. If it is the case and if the second fragment is not to be parsed independently, the second media data and a portion of the second metadata are encapsulated within the second fragment, the second fragment further comprising an indication to signal that the metadata part of the second fragment comprises only a portion of the metadata required to parse the media data of the second fragment.
