codec_specific_data
private global data for a codec (could be huffman tables or ...)
+ if a codec has a global header it SHOULD be placed in here instead of
+ at the start of every keyframe
+ the exact format is specified in the codec spec
+ codecs which dont specify it in their spec are specified below
+ for ogg based codecs (vorbis, theora) the following format shall be used
+ number_of_headers_minus_1 u(8)
+ for(i=0; i<number_of_headers; i++){
+ -1 u(8*(size[i]/255))
+ size[i] % 255 u(8)
+ }
+ for(i=0; i<number_of_headers; i++)
+ header[i]
+ Note, this is the same format these codecs use in matroska
frame_code
the meaning of this byte is stored in the main header
