ImageDescription Extension Format

Q Can we define our own extension format for the ImageDescription structure? In other words, can we just attach any kind of data (with the idSize field adjusted accordingly) to the end of the ImageDescription structure (which is then placed in the 'stsd' atom)? This would only be used on the Mac by our component.

A Please refer to Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Components, page 147 for information on image description extensions.
