This specification defines the stream and initialization data formats for use with the Encrypted Media Extensions.
The Working Group maintains a list of all bug reports that the editors have not yet tried to address.
Implementors should be aware that this specification is not stable. Implementors who are not taking part in the discussions are likely to find the specification changing out from under them in incompatible ways. Vendors interested in implementing this specification before it eventually reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage should join the mailing list mentioned below and take part in the discussions.
This registry is intended to enhance interoperability among implementations and users of encrypted media streams with the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) specification. In particular, this registry provides the means (1) to identify and avoid collisions among initialization data type strings, and (2) to disclose information about encrypted data formats accepted by EME implementations to promote interoperability.
The registry maintains a mapping between initialization data type strings and encryption format specifications. The encryption format specifications describe the structure and semantics of initialization data.
This registry is not intended to include any information on whether a byte stream format is encumbered by intellectual property claims. Implementors and users are advised to seek appropriate legal counsel in this matter if they intend to implement or use a specific byte stream format.
