	The RoQ files used in The 11th Hour and Clandestiny are a superset of the format used in Q3-Engine based games. They include chunk types not used in Q3 and supported in the current implementations of the format. These two games, among other differences, also include support for JPEG encoded keyframes.		The RoQ files used in The 11th Hour and Clandestiny are a superset of the format used in Q3-Engine based games. They include chunk types not used in Q3 and supported in the current implementations of the format. These two games, among other differences, also include support for JPEG encoded keyframes.

			== File Format ==
			A RoQ format is comprised of a series of chunks. These chunks may indicate the format signature or playback parameters, or may contain encoded pieces of video frames or audio wave forms.

			=== Chunk Format ===
			Each chunk has the following format (all multi-byte numbers are little-endian):

			bytes 0-1 chunk ID
			bytes 2-5 length of chunk payload
			bytes 6-7 chunk arguments
			bytes 8.. chunk payload

			Note that bytes 2-5 only contain the length of the chunk payload, not the entire chunk including the 8-byte header. Also, the RoQ_SIGNATURE chunk contains 0xFFFFFFFF for this field and should only be used for format validation purposes.

			=== 0x1084 - RoQ_SIGNATURE ===
			A signature chunk has a length of 0xFFFFFFFF and no payload. The chunk argument represents the movie playback framerate.

			=== 0x1000 - RoQ_QUAD ===

			=== 0x1001 - RoQ_INFO ===

			=== 0x1002 - RoQ_QUAD_CODEBOOK ===

			=== 0x1011 - RoQ_QUAD_VQ ===

			=== 0x1012 - RoQ_JPEG ===
			A JPEG chunk contains a plain JFIF file that can be decoded with a standard JPEG image decoder.

			=== 0x1013 - RoQ_HANG ===
			The purpose of this chunk type is unclear.

			=== 0x1020 - RoQ_SOUND_MONO ===

			=== 0x1021 - RoQ_SOUND_STEREO ===

			=== 0x1030 - RoQ_PACKET ===
			This chunk is known to occur in RoQ files from The 11th Hour. It's use appears to be related to audio processing.
