Hello trid users,
some days ago i handled some Steinberg Cubase files with vstsound file name
extension. This are described by TrID as "Unknown!" (See appended
output/trid.txt)
The samples are found as part of a Steinberg Cubase software installation.
So i add Wikipedia page about Steinberg Cubase as reference URL. This is
expressed line like:
<RefURL>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinberg_Cubase
</RefURL>
The samples with vstsound are listed then in the registry. This is expressed by
line like:
<FileType>Steinberg VST Sound archive</FileType>
So i run tridscan on these samples and i get a trid definition file
vstsound.trid.xml.
Characteristic for such Steinberg files is a typical ASCII phrase as first
line. That is expressed by XML construct like:
<Bytes>537465696E62657267205265736F757263652046696C650D0A</Bytes>
<ASCII> S t e i n b e r g R e s o u r c e F i l e</ASCII>
<Pos>0</Pos>
Furthermore the phrase Content occurs in all samples. That is expressed in
global string section by line like:
<String>CONTENT</String>
With the new definition the undetected Steinberg VSTSOUND samples are now
described (see appended output/trid-new-v.txt). TrID definition, some
examples and output are stored in archive vstsound.zip. I hope that my XML
file can be used in future version of triddefs.
With best wishes
