# Sample size table

A table containing the sample size information.

## Overview

The sample size table contains an entry for every sample in the media’s data stream. Each table entry contains a size field. The size field contains the size, in bytes, of the sample in question. The table is indexed by sample number — the first entry corresponds to the first sample, the second entry is for the second sample, and so on.

An example of a sample size table is as follows.

|Sample size|Sample  |
|-----------|--------|
|Size       |Sample 1|
|Size       |Sample 2|
|Size       |Sample 3|
|Size       |Sample 4|
|Size       |Sample 5|
