reading and writing hex (reading a quicktime file)
Posted: April 20th, 2006, 6:35 am
Hi
I am trying to "read" a quicktime file...not play it but actually read the raw data contained in the file. The file appears to be written in hex, I am able to look at it with a hex editor, but whenever I try to read it with a script, I am not able to get any useable data from the reads.
Any idea if it is possible to read and write hex. I tried changing the file encoding to BINARY, but the docs on file encoding are sparse to say the least. Any ideas?
