'''DMIF''', or '''Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework''', is ana uniform interface (DMIF/Application Interface – DAI) between the application and the transport, that allows the [[MPEG-4]] application developer to stop worrying about that transport. DMIF was defined in MPEG-4 Part 6 (ISO/IEC 14496-6) in 1999.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=34418 | title=ISO/IEC 14496-6:2000 - Information technology -- Coding of audio-visual objects -- Part 6: Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF) | author=ISO | publisher=ISO | accessdate=2010-08-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/faq/mp4-dmi/mp4-dmi.htm | title=MPEG Systems (1-2-4-7) FAQ, Version 16.0 - Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF) |year=2001 | author=MPEG | publisher=MPEG | accessdate=2010-08-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/tutorials/papers/icj-mpeg4-si/06-DMIF_paper/6-DMIF_paper.htm | title=The Delivery Layer in MPEG-4 - G.

MPEG-4 DMIF supports the following functionalities:
* A transparent MPEG-4 DMIF-application interface irrespective of whether the peer is a remote interactive peer, broadcast or local storage media.
