You'd have separate initialization segment files. - Then, for DASH on-demand profiles, you don't necessarily have to make a single XHR. You can keep making multiple XHR, until you get track information.

That would be really useful to developers. For the ISOBMFF, the size depends almost linearly on the number of tracks in the IS. Also the size is theoretically unlimited because you may have unlimited textual information (copyright, user information ...) or other boxes. In practice, you can check some files here: http://download.tsi.telecom-paristech.fr/gpac/DASH_CONFORMANCE/TelecomParisTech/, you'll see that the IS rarely exceed 1 or 2 KB. But I'm not sure this should be a recommendation. HTH, Cyril -- Cyril Concolato Multimedia Group / Telecom ParisTech http://concolato.wp.mines-telecom.fr/ @cconcolato
