At least one embodiment of a method for encapsulating media data as fragments, each fragment comprising metadata and media data, the metadata describing encapsulation of the media data. After having obtained second media data to be encapsulated within a second fragment and second metadata describing encapsulation of the second media data, it is determined whether some of the second metadata are identical to some of first metadata belonging to a first fragment and describing encapsulation of first media data within the first fragment. If it is the case and if the second fragment is not to be parsed independently, the second media data and a portion of the second metadata are encapsulated within the second fragment, the second fragment further comprising an indication to signal that the metadata part of the second fragment comprises only a portion of the metadata required to parse the media data of the second fragment.

The invention relates to encapsulating tiled timed media data in a server and providing a timed media data bit-stream from encapsulated tiled timed media in a client device. The tiled timed media data comprises timed samples and each timed sample comprises a plurality of spatial subsamples. After having selected at least one spatial subsample from amongst the plurality of spatial subsamples of one of the timed samples, one tile track comprising the selected spatial subsample and one corresponding spatial subsample of each of the other timed samples is created for each selected spatial subsample. One composite track comprising at least one extractor identifying at least one of the created tile tracks is created. Each created track is independently encapsulated in at least one media segment file.
