Packed Animation File (PAF) is a movie used in the Windows version of the game Heart Of Darkness. The source code for a reverse engineered decoder is available at: http://cyxdown.free.fr/pafdec
There is also a PlayStation version of this game. It is unknown if that version uses this file format for FMV. Many PS1 games used the PlayStation Motion Decoder format for their FMV.
Archive Format
The Windows version of Heart Of Darkness contains a large data file called hod.paf. This file contains 25 PAF files concatenated together and prepended by a header. The header is 100 bytes long and consists of 25 little endian 32-bit numbers which are absolute offsets into the archive file. For example, bytes 0-3 contain the number 0x000000C8 = 100 which indicates that the first file occurs immediately following the 100-byte header.
