Uncompressed Script

The Windows Media Format SDK reads and writes uncompressed scripts. Each script consists of two strings, a type string and an argument string.

There are several predefined type strings:

• URL
  
  
• FILE
  
  
• CAPTION
  
  
• OPENEVENT
  
  
• EVENT

Both the type and argument strings are Unicode (two bytes per character) can be of any length, and are zero-terminated. Developers can define their own types, though care will have to be taken if a script stream might be read by a third-party product, where the developers may have used the same type with a different meaning.
