NUT Open Container Format DRAFT 20040409 ---------------------------------------- Intro: Features / goals: (supported by the format, not necessary by a specific implementation) Simple use the same encoding for nearly all fields simple decoding, so slow cpus (and embedded systems) can handle it Extendible no limit for the possible values for all fields (using universal vlc) allow adding of new headers in the future allow adding more fields at the end of headers Compact ~0.2% overhead, for normal bitrates index is <10kb per hour (1 keyframe every 3sec) a usual header for a file is about 100bytes (audio + video headers together) a packet header is about ~1-8 bytes Error resistant seeking / playback without an index headers & index can be repeated damaged files can be played back with minimal data lost and fast resyncing times Definitions: MUST the specific part must be done to conform to this standard SHOULD its recommanded to be done that way but its not strictly required Syntax: Type definitions: f(x) n fixed bits in big endian order u(x) unsigned number encoded in x bits in MSB first order v value=0 do{ more_data u(1) data u(7) value= 128*value + data }while(more_data) s temp v temp++ if(temp&1) value= -(temp>>1) else value= (temp>>1) b (binary data or string) for(i=0;
