This paper provides a description of the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) file format standard and its support for the video adaptation in a streaming scenario. The paper shows the advantages of using SVC and its standard file format when implementing server driven and receiver driven adaptation. The organization of information inside the SVC file permits the efficient application of adaptation procedures based on filtering at the server or at media aware network elements, carrying out receiver driven layered multicast and multi-interface transmission. The paper provides an overall description of a tool that supports the creation of files compliant with the SVC file format. Keywords-Scalable video coding, SVC file format, streaming, video adaptation, multicast and multi-interface transmission.
