Method and apparatus for encapsulating uncompressed images and uncompressed video data into a file

A method of reading a media file comprising an uncompressed video sequence, the uncompressed video sequence comprising uncompressed samples, wherein the method comprises:

• obtaining from the media file a description information describing the video data and indicating that the video sequence is uncompressed;
• wherein the description information comprises sample description information indicating the number of components used for encoding pixel information for at least one sample, a component having a plurality of component values, the sample configuration information comprising information describing at least one component and the organization of component values into sample data;
• and
• reading from the media file the uncompressed video sequence based on the description information.
