[M4IF Technotes] MPEG-4 short video header conformance streams

[iole moccagatta]

Dear All,
I have one question concerning MPEG-4 short video header conformance
streams.
I have notice that the MPEG-4 short video header conformance streams
start with "short_video_start_marker", while the other MPEG-4 video
conformance streams start with "video_object_start_code".
However, according to the MPEG-4 spec, the "short_video_start_marker"
too should be preceded by a "video_object_start_code".
I assume that the decision to start the two set of conformance streams
at different level is just a practical one. Should I therefore assume
that, in a real situation, the short video header stream should be
preceded, among other things, by a video_object_start_code ?
Please confirm.
Best Regards,
    Iole
