Information technology — JPEG 2000 image coding system — Part 12: ISO base media file format
ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005 specifies the structure and uses of the ISO base media file format. The identical text is published as ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005. This file format is used to contain time-based media such as video and audio. The storage of particular coding schemes is defined in specifications that derive from and reference ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005 and ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005, such as the MPEG-4 file format specified in ISO/IEC 14496-14, or the Motion JPEG file format specified in ISO/IEC 15444-3. This file format is designed to contain timed media information for a presentation in a flexible, extensible format that facilitates interchange, management, editing and presentation of the media. This presentation may be "local" to the system containing the presentation, or may be via a network or other stream delivery mechanism. The file format is designed to be independent of any particular network protocol while enabling efficient support for them in general. The file structure is object-oriented; a file can be decomposed into constituent objects very simply, and the structure of the objects inferred directly from their type. This technically identical text is published as ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005 for MPEG-4, and as ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005 for JPEG 2000, and reference to this specification should be made accordingly. The recommendation is to reference one, for example ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005, and append to the reference a parenthetical comment identifying the other, for example "(technically identical to ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005)". This version adds various new tools, including those for content protection, better support of metadata, and better support for advanced coding.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 15444-12 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information Technology,
Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of Audio, Picture, Multimedia and Hypermedia Information.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 15444-12:2004) which has been
technically revised.
ISO/IEC 15444 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — JPEG 2000
image coding system:
Part 1: Core coding system
Part 2: Extensions
Part 3: Motion JPEG 2000
Part 4: Conformance testing
Part 5: Reference software
Part 6: Compound image file format
Part 8: Secure JPEG 2000
Part 9: Interactivity tools, APIs and protocols
Part 11: Wireless JEP 2000
Part 12: ISO base media file format
The following parts are under preparation:
Part 10: Extensions for 3-D and floating point data
This corrected version of ISO/IEC 15444-12:2005 (E) incorporates the following corrections:
the Foreword has been altered to reflect that ISO/IEC 15444-11 is now published;
in 8.16.2, 8.17.2.1, 8.17.3.1, 8.18.2 and 8.19.2, “•” has been replaced with “u””.

Introduction
The ISO Base Media File Format is designed to contain timed media information for a presentation in a
flexible, extensible format that facilitates interchange, management, editing, and presentation of the media.
This presentation may be ‘local’ to the system containing the presentation, or may be via a network or other
stream delivery mechanism.
The file structure is object-oriented; a file can be decomposed into constituent objects very simply, and the
structure of the objects inferred directly from their type.
The file format is designed to be independent of any particular network protocol while enabling efficient
support for them in general.
The ISO Base Media File Format is a base format for media file formats.
It is intended that the ISO Base Media File Format shall be jointly maintained by WG1 and WG11.
Consequently, a subdivision of work created 15444-12 and 14496-12 in order to document the ISO Base
Media File Format and to facilitate the joint maintenance.
This technically identical text is published as ISO/IEC 14496-12 for MPEG-4, and as ISO/IEC 15444-12 for
JPEG 2000, and reference to this specification should be made accordingly. The recommendation is to
reference one, for example ISO/IEC 14496
