Summary

This contribution addresses the issues of indexing using sample table atoms in the current VM. The current indexing mechanism is complex with too may indirections (see page 56 of the QT specification). We propose a simpler indexing that is based on Fat POT that is defined in Columbia-ATT proposal for the MPEG-4 Intermedia format.
