File storage:

No official container. Non official can be AVI or MOV based where frame data is a JPEG file Each frames start with 0xffd8ff (JPEG magick number)

A single frame of MJPEG video may or may not contain the associated JPEG Huffman tables. For QuickTime formats, Apple has defined two types of coding: MJPEG-A and MJPEG-B. MJPEG-B no longer retains valid JPEG Interchange Files An other way is to store as HTTP stream without first headers (before first boundary) see https://github.com/waveform80/picamera/issues/335 An other way is to store all JPEG frames concatenated in one file

HTTP stream (multipart message):

Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=xxboundaryxx

--xxboundaryxx

Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Length: 1000

JIFFdata..frame1.1000

--xxboundaryxx

Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Length: 1000

JIFFdata..frame2.1000

--xxboundaryxx

Additional headers can be used to discard browser cache:

Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
