Abstract
After recording a data container, a back-pointer item is recorded, comprising a specific key and an indicator of the length of the data container. This back-pointer item can be used to jump to the beginning of the data container when reading the file backwards. Other types of coding than KLV coding are also proposed. These types of coding can be used for instance to code the back-pointer item.
