MSE preparing a registry for different file formats

Hi all,

I just noticed that the MSE specification got subdivided into 5 specifications.

Since MSE has to deal with segmenting media files into smaller pieces
that can then be adaptively streamed and recombined via HTTP
streaming, a lot of metadata is being used there, too. Thus, there is
some overlap between what we're trying to do and what is specified
there.

The main spec is this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/media-source/
It explicitly talks about Track ID, kind, language, but not label.


The next spec is a registry for byte stream formats:
http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/

The others are the byte stream format specs:
WebM Byte Stream format:
http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/webm-byte-stream-format.html

ISO BMFF Byte Stream format:
http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/isobmff-byte-stream-format.html

MPEG-2 TS Byte Stream format:
http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/mp2t-byte-stream-format.html


They aren't currently specifying how to retrieve Track ID, kind and
language from the files that they are delivering, but it's good to
keep an eye on these.

Cheers,
Silvia.
