Other than ISO Common Encryption being already deployed, what's the benefit of encrypting codec data the mp4 container using AES-CTR as opposed to encrypting the entire mp4 file using AES-CTR? (Presumably in non-streaming cases, it might be useful to be able to read embedded metadata even if the media is unrenderable, but in the streaming Web case, that doesn't seem like an important benefit.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
