    Reading wmv

    Reading wmv


    wotsit.org only had a link to the msdn asf file. I downloaded the asf.doc file and read it. There are many headers. In several of the length fields it said “varies” meow.

    How do you set up a prog to read a file or ram with an unknown “varies” length in the header?

    Also while looking at a wmv file it seemed to be zero padded and there was no documentation in this.

    A source code example on reading many headers with “variable” lengths is what I would like to look at.
    All I can think of is many “if” statements to handle this. Is there a better way?

    Have you checked out the SDK?

    I am not looking to script or call functions to do .... whatever.... I want to be able to read the headers that are in the file so I can find the data that I am looking for.

    Windows Media Encoder 9 Series SDK
    Brief Description
    Download the updated version of Windows Media Encoder SDK. The set of interfaces in this SDK makes it easy for a developer to script the behavior of the encoder itself.
    good idea that there may or may not be in the SDK the info I am looking for. I though wotsit would have had more information.<whine> Too many wrapper classes it is like the antichristmass. Where unwrapping is a pain instead of a joy. meow. meow. </whine>

    What exactly does that mean? Does it mean you refuse to submit to a validation check or that you somehow fail a validation check?

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
