[M4IF Discuss] MPEG-4 Content transport over MPEG-2 Transport Stream

[Danilo Tromp]

Dear all,
Nice to hear some new interest in MPEG4 over MPEG2.
A few things:
1. The AIC demo demonstrated the transport of a pure MPEG4 application over
MPEG2. The MPEG4 player used was the 2D reference player from IM1 with an
MMX optimised mpeg2 decoder plugin and a DMIF filter to extract the flexmux
channels from the Transport Stream. Etri was in the NexTV project
responsible for the server side.
2. Within the european ICECREAM project work is done to sent synchronous
tracking data of football players using MPEG4 systems. This to enable the
drawing of simple animations on top of the video. 
3. We also have a demonstration running which demonstrates the use of MPEG4
video encapsulated within MPEG2 in an interactive television application. We
are planning to use MPEG4 video for this, because we only want to embed the
latest action replays in the DVB stream and transparantly want to stream the
older video clips transported over IP. MPEG4-Video (or its successor
H264/JVT) is perfectly fitted for this: it has a good compression and can be
transported over DVB and IP. 
4. A recorded video of a demo session and a powerpoint presentation of our
latest work can be found on 
ftp://gast:p0werd0wn@ftp.innov.nob.nl/ 
I hope you have access to it.
The aim of our work is to create commercial requirements for DVB to accept
MPEG4 Video and possibly MPEG4 Bifs as a media format and also important to
define an API to access this media from an interactive television
application (e.g. MHP). Examples of the use of this API can be seen in the
video clip.

There are a couple of other European projects that have been / are still
working in that area (Piste, Melisa, ...). They may have some public
infomation.
AIC demonstrated indeed the complete set-up with news information
provided by NoB in IBC 1999. If you want more info. on the technical
details, you may contact Guido Franceschini, Gianluca De Petris (Tilab),
Young Kwon Lim (ETRI at that time) or Michelle Kim (IBM).
Kind regards,
Olivier
