andyc Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi, been a while since ive been in here. I need to decode a Maxedia file format and dont currently have a Maxedia server to see whats actually in the file and if the content can be easily re-created. Anyone have experience With Maxedia or any ideas for a quick and dirty way of decoding this, the code looks like its a series of Bitmaps, but im unable to decypher the start and the end!

Nick S Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think you might be setting yourself up for an impossible task. Reverse engineering a file format is going to be near impossible without knowing the end result. The best you could probably hope for would be to whip up a quick program in the language of your choice to pull the bitmaps out of the file and dump into an image sequence, aside from poking around with a hex editor (which you've probably done already). Plus, whilst I'm not totally familiar with the format, surely a lot of the media is going to be stored elsewhere, and mentioned only by reference?

andyc Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sadly I think your right, hopefully should get a server to see whats actually on there soon! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
