Overview
ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/Amd 5:2004 is an amendment to Part 5 of the ISO/IEC 14496 (MPEG‑4) suite - the Reference Software component - issued 2004‑11‑01. This amendment updates the visual reference software and visual encoding software listings to include reference software extensions for the Error Resilient Simple Scalable Profile. It documents reference implementations (decoders and encoders) for a range of visual coding techniques and names contributing implementations (C/C++), helping ensure interoperability and conformance for MPEG‑4 visual profiles.
Key topics and requirements
- Reference software updates: Replacement of Clause 4 and Annex A.2 to list updated visual reference decoders and encoders.
- Error resilient scalable profile: Extensions target error resilience and simple scalable operation to support robust streaming and adaptive delivery.
- Reference implementations: Multiple visual decoders and encoders are listed, implemented in C and C++, covering:
- Natural video decoders/encoders (Microsoft, Sony)
- Error‑resilient scalable encoder/decoder implementations
- Visual Texture and Visual Texture decoder/encoder
- Face and body animation (FBA/FAP) encoders/decoders
- 3D mesh encoder/decoder integrations (Samsung)
- DCT‑based FAP, FIT encoders/decoders, Mesh2D (dynamic 2D mesh), view‑dependent texture with back channel
- Standards development context: Prepared by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29 (coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information), noting potential patent rights and implementation licensing considerations.
Practical applications
- Implementation and interoperability testing of MPEG‑4 visual codecs for products and research.
- Development of error‑resilient streaming and scalable video systems (adaptive bitrate, lossy networks).
- Reference codebase for codec vendors, multimedia software engineers, integrators, and academic researchers to validate conformance and prototype features such as face/body animation, 3D mesh handling, and view‑dependent texture rendering.
- Source of authoritative examples for porting, optimization, and embedding codec functionality in media servers, players, and real‑time communication systems.
Who should use this standard
- Codec developers and engineers implementing MPEG‑4 visual profiles
- Test labs and interoperability teams
- Multimedia platform architects and streaming service developers
- Researchers and educators working on scalable and error‑resilient video coding
Related standards

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Dire
