> Hi, I am analyzing the files generated on SD card after the completion of recording.
> The recording is implemented using "my_media.startRecord();".
> So I looked into the Java code of Cordova and found that PhoneGap will create something called "tmprecording.mp3" and I assume that PhoneGap encodes the output of the recording in mp3.
> I opened the generated file(which was playable with correct sound) and found something interesting:
> 1. It was neither one of MEPGI/II/III. The first 11 bits of the file I got are all 0s.
> 2. It was not a .wav file. The first four bytes should be "RIFF" in ASCII for a legal .wav file, which was not the case on the file I got.
> For project requirement, I need to verify the sampling rate and bit rate of the mp3 file generated. However, even though I use some mp3 checker software, I cannot retrieve these information from the file generated.
> After that I use the media player to play the file, and tried monitoring which decoder the player used, and got the following information:
> Input: amrnb, mono, 8000 HZ, 128kbps (libavcodec)
> Output: PCM, Stereo, 8000HZ, 16-bit integer
> Is that the correct information I wanted to know? Which one of them indicates the correct sampling rate and bit rate? Does anyone know what format specifically the recorded file is and where I can find its spec(such as header, etc)?
> Later I need to manipulate the recorded file (e.g., retrieve simple waveform). Really appreciate your help.
> I don't know if it is only me(HTC One X and Nexus Glaxy) or everyone, but the file format is eventually confirmed as MP4/3GP. The file I got from PhoneGap recording is encoded with 3GP release 4 codec because it has the header "00 00 00 18 66 74 79 70 33 67
> " in hex. This seems very different from a MPEG-3 file format and I don't understand why PhoneGap Cordova team will name such file as *.mp3. Is this behavior system/browser-related on different device or universal to all Cordova apps?
