Audio Play List Files
B.0 Audio Play List File Format
The format of an Audio Play List File is as follows:
<Audio File> <Starting Frame #> <Ending Frame #> <Repeat Count>
<Audio File> <Starting Frame #> <Ending Frame #> <Repeat Count>
<Audio File> <Starting Frame #> <Ending Frame #> <Repeat Count>
<Audio File> <Starting Frame #> <Ending Frame #> <Repeat Count>
.
.
.
<Audio File> <Starting Frame #> <Ending Frame #> <Repeat Count>
Any line that starts with a semicolon (“;”) or any line that has no arguments on it is ignored. Each line that has
arguments always contains four arguments. Each “Audio File” will start immediately after the last Field of the
previous “Audio File”.
Here is an example of a Video Play List File:
;Video File Start End Repeat
;========== ====== === ======
<d:\mpeg\clip1.wav> <50> <500> <0>
<d:\mpeg\clip2.wav> <1000> <1500> <0>
<d:\mpeg\clip3.wav> <100> <600> <0>
In this example “clip1.wav” start at field 50 of that file. At field 500 of that file “clip2.wav“ starts. If the fields in a
file are less than the “end – start” the file is repeated. The Repeat count is ignored by the player application but it is
used by the playlist editing application. At field 1500 of “clip2.wav”, “clip3.wav” starts. When “clip3.wav reaches
field number 600 “clip1.wav” will start again at an offset of 50 fields and the whole process will repeat.
