[M4IF Technotes] what is ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001

[Rob Koenen]

Arial,
-5 is the part tha contains the reference SW. REference SW is code
that implements the basic functionality of the standard (usually both 
encoding and decoding, but not necessarily the full quality and not
necessarily in an integrated way. You can dowload and use it to 
understand how the standard works or even to implement products.
You don't need to worry about infringing copyright as long as you use 
it for doing MPEG-4 things (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and the 
copyright notice in the code is the only authoritative reference for 
what you can and cannot do with the reference code.)
-4 is Conformance testing. It contains bitstreams and descriptions on how
you can test your decoder using those bitstreams. Use 'decoder' in the
generic sense; the concept applies to Systems too, not just to Audio and
Video.

Hi,
Can someone tell me what the mpeg-4 part  ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001 is for?
I saw on the iso webpage that it says Reference software under it, what does
this mean?
Reference software for what?
On the same level what does the part ISO/IEC 14496-4:2000 include?
Thanks,
Ariel
