# Sample dependency flags table

A table of 8-bit values indicating the sample flag settings.

## Overview

Overview The number of entries in the table is obtained from the associated sample size atom’s number of samples field. An example of a sample dependency flags table is as follows.  |   |   |   |   |   |  Flag values are specified as follows. enum { // bit 0x80 is reserved; bit combinations 0x30, 0xC0 and 0x03 are reserved kQTSampleDependency_EarlierDisplayTimesAllowed = 1<<6, // mediaSampleEarlierDisplayTimesAllowed kQTSampleDependency_SampleDoesNotDependOnOthers = 1<<5, // ie: an I picture kQTSampleDependency_SampleDependsOnOthers = 1<<4, // ie: not an I picture kQTSampleDependency_NoOtherSampleDependsOnThisSample = 1<<3,  // mediaSampleDroppable kQTSampleDependency_OtherSamplesDependOnThisSample = 1<<2, kQTSampleDependency_ThereIsNoRedundantCodingInThisSample = 1<<1, kQTSampleDependency_ThereIsRedundantCodingInThisSample = 1<<0 };
