Smart Client
One of the major goals is to allow content creators to have advanced playback capabilities, such as fast seeking and fast start using only an HTTP server. To achieve this, the WebM file format guidelines below should be followed when creating content.
WebM 准则
本指南目前针对通过 HTTP 连接串流的文件,且标明了同更宽松的 Matroska 规范(http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/index.html) 相比 WebM 要求相对严格的领域。
解流器与混流器准则
DocType
元素 应 为 “webm”。- Video 编解码 应 为 VP8。
- Codec ID 应 为 “V_VP8”。
- VP8 没有
CodecPrivate
数据。
- 音频编解码 应 为 Vorbis。
- Vorbis 规范: http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html
- The project will develop specific guidance on how Vorbis should be deployed in WebM (profile, bitrate, channels)
- Initial WebM release does not support subtitles.
- WHATWG / W3C RFC will release guidance on subtitles and other overlays in HTML5
<video>
in the near future. WebM intends to follow that guidance.
- WHATWG / W3C RFC will release guidance on subtitles and other overlays in HTML5
DocReadTypeVersion
should follow the Matroska specification.- Example: Files with v2 elements should have a
DocReadTypeVersion
of 2.
- Example: Files with v2 elements should have a
混流器准则
Muxers should treat all guidelines marked should in this section as must. This will foster consistency across WebM files in the real world.
- WebM should contain the
SeekHead
element.- Reason: Allows the client to know if the file contains a
Cues
element.
- Reason: Allows the client to know if the file contains a
- WebM files should include a keyframe-only
Cues
element.- The
Cues
element should contain only video key frames, to decrease the size of the file header. - It is recommended that the
Cues
element be before any clusters, so that the client can seek to a point in the data that has not yet been downloaded in a single seek operation. Ref: a tool that will put theCues
at the front.
- The
- All absolute (block + cluster) timecodes must be strictly increasing.
- All timecodes are associated with the start time of the block.
- The
TimecodeScale
element should be set to a default of 1.000.000 nanoseconds.- Reason: Allows every cluster to have blocks with positive values up to 32.767 seconds.
- Key frames should be placed at the beginning of clusters.
- Having key frames at the beginning of clusters should make seeking faster and easier for the client.
- Audio blocks that contain the video key frame’s timecode should be in the same cluster as the video key frame block.
- Audio blocks that have same absolute timecode as video blocks should be written before the video blocks.
- WebM files must only support pixels for the
DisplayUnit
element. - VP8 frames should be muxed in the
SimpleBlock
element.
VP8 Alternate Reference Frames
When enabled, the VP8 encoder will at its discretion inject a new frame — the alternate reference (AR) — into the output prior to the frame that depends on it. There will be at MOST 1 frame added between I/P-frames. The dependent frame (D) will always be a P-frame. The AR will be marked with the invisible flag by the codec SDK. This frame must be decoded before D, but will produce no output on its own.
To satisfy the monotonically-increasing requirement, the encoder will currently set the AR’s timestamp to 1 less than D’s. This means the time base given to the encoder at configure time must be granular enough to allow this, e.g., at least 2X framerate.
Ideally the AR’s timestamp should be as close as possible to frame D-1 to allow the decoder as much time as possible to decode AR before needing to display D.
Encode Example
Input | F0 | F1 | |
Output | I/P | AR | D |
PTS | 0 | 1 | 2 |
Decode Example
Input | I/P | AR | D |
Output | F0 | F1 | |
PTS | 0 | 2 |
Demuxer Guidelines
- The demuxer must only open webm DocType files.
- Once the demuxer deems the header and metadata of the file to be valid for a WebM file and the player starts playing the file, the demuxer must do all it can to parse the file, so playback can occur as correctly as possible.
- Seeking will be disabled if the webm file does not have a key frame
Cues
element.- The project is considering support for seeking without a
Cues
element.
- The project is considering support for seeking without a
Current Implementation Details
