In meeting discussions, it was noted that many products (esp. portable video players) have implemented the "toolbox" subset corresponding to profile_idc = 66 with constraint_set1_flag and that some application specifications have specified to use this subset, which is currently not a defined conformance point of the AVC standard. It was suggested to provide a new profile definition corresponding to those settings.
The suggested name for this new profile that arose in these discussions was the "Common Profile".
JVT Decision: The JVT suggests that its parent bodies and participants study this suggestion and provide their opinions about the desirability of this potential future action. A resolution on this topic was conveyed to the WG 11 parent body for inclusion in the parent body meeting resolutions. See item 4 of section 10 of this report.
