MPEG 1 - Can't parse stream |
| Fr3d posted 2009 Oct 18 19:20 |
| Hello people,
I'm a newbie in mpeg files but i need to write a program to parse one. All was going smoothly when i got to one part where the hex dump of the mpeg stream looks like this: ... 00 00 01 00, 02 , 00 00 01 E0, .... As you can see, separated by commas are the start codes for a Frame and a Video stream. What i don't get is that 02 in the middle, i mean wasn't it supposed to be followed by more 3 or 4 bytes? I suppose the answer is no because the mpeg file can be loaded into any mpeg player or inspector . So my question is simples: What is happening here? I need to get the frame number and type, but i can't do that since the header has only one byte..... Appreciate your help. |
