Proprietary container format from audible.com. There is no published specification. It may contain one of five different encodings which are numbered 1 thru 5. 1-3 are rumored to be ACELP.net at varying bitrates. #4 is MP3. #5 is some unknown Sony format.
Parsing metadata
This following Ruby code works for parsing the metadata on the only sample available. This table starts at 0xbd.
video = File.new(ARGV[0]) video.read(189) # skip header (1..19).each { |x| sizes = video.read(8).unpack('NN') key = video.read(sizes[0].to_i) value = video.read(sizes[0].to_i+1) puts "#{x} key(#{sizes[0].to_i})=#{key} value(#{sizes[0].to_i)=#{value}" }
Sample output (stripped):
13 key(5)=codec value(7)=acelp85 16 key(10)=HeaderSeed value(10)=1158166611 18 key(9)=HeaderKey value(43)=3759801365 1641076194 2988088058 4282540117 19 key(15)=EncryptedBlocks value(5)=39333
Probably a seek table starts at 0x5f8:
type(32) [1 - meta?, 2 - audio packets, 3 - meta?, 4 - meta?] offset(32) [must be relative, as the first entry in the list is always 0]
