Task 004: .3GP File Format

1. Properties of the .3GP File Format Intrinsic to Its File System

The .3GP file format is a multimedia container format defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for 3G UMTS multimedia services, based on the ISO/IEC 14496-12 (MPEG-4 Part 12) base media file format. Below is a list of intrinsic properties of the .3GP file format, focusing on its file structure and characteristics relevant to its file system:

• File Extension: .3gp or .3gpp
• MIME Type: video/3gpp, audio/3gpp (if no video)
• Container Format: Based on ISO/IEC 14496-12 (MPEG-4 Part 12), a simplified version of MP4 optimized for mobile devices
• Byte Order: Big-endian (most significant bytes first)
• File Structure: Composed of consecutive chunks (boxes), each with an 8-byte header (4-byte size, 4-byte type)
• Key Boxes:
• ftyp (File Type Box): Identifies the file type and compatibility, with subtypes like 3gp4, 3gp5, 3gp6, etc.
• moov (Movie Box): Contains metadata about the media, such as tracks and their properties
• mdat (Media Data Box): Stores the actual audio, video, or text data
• Other possible boxes: udta (user data), free, skip, etc.
• Video Codecs: Supports MPEG-4 Part 2, H.263, or H.264 (AVC)
• Audio Codecs: Supports AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+, AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1, or Enhanced aacPlus (HE-AAC v2)
• Text Support: Supports 3GPP Timed Text for subtitles
• Tracks: Can contain multiple tracks (video, audio, text/subtitles)
• Metadata: Supports metadata like author, title, and description
• Resolution: Typically up to 320x240 for mobile devices, though higher resolutions are possible
• Aspect Ratio: Commonly 16:9 or 4:3
• File Size: Optimized for small file sizes to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements
• Streaming Support: Designed for streaming over low-bandwidth networks
• Compatibility: High compatibility with 3G mobile devices, with limited support on modern devices without additional software

These properties are derived from the 3GPP technical specifications and related sources, ensuring a focus on the file format's intrinsic characteristics.

2. Python Class for .3GP File Handling

Below is a Python class that uses the isobmff library (a Python parser for ISO base media file formats) to open, read, write, and print .3GP file properties. Since isobmff is not a standard library, you may need to install it (pip install isobmff) or use an alternative like pymp4 for parsing.

            return True
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error opening file: {e}")
            return False

    def read_properties(self):
        """Read and return .3GP file properties."""
        if not self.boxes:
            print("File not opened or invalid.")
            return None

        properties = {
            "file_extension": os.path.splitext(self.file_path)[1].lower(),

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":

    if three_gp.open_file():
        three_gp.print_properties()
        three_gp.write_file("output.3gp")

Notes:

• Requires the isobmff library for parsing ISO base media files. Install via pip install isobmff.
• The class assumes the input file is a valid .3GP file. Error handling is included for invalid files.
• Writing a .3GP file preserves the original structure without modification, as creating new .3GP files from scratch requires additional codec encoding, which is complex and library-dependent.

3. Java Class for .3GP File Handling

Below is a Java class using the mp4parser library (com.googlecode.mp4parser) to handle .3GP files. You need to include the library in your project (e.g., via Maven).

• The class handles reading and writing .3GP files, with simplified metadata extraction.
• Writing preserves the original file structure.

Notes:

• Requires mp4box.js (install via npm install mp4box or use a CDN).
• Designed for Node.js; for browser use, modify the file reading/writing to use File API.
• Metadata extraction is simplified due to library limitations.

Notes:

• C implementation is basic due to the lack of high-level libraries for .3GP parsing.
• Only the ftyp box is parsed; other properties are placeholders for simplicity.
• Writing copies the original file without modification.
• Full parsing requires a custom ISO box parser, which is complex and beyond this scope.

General Notes

• Libraries: Python and Java use existing libraries (isobmff, mp4parser) for parsing, while JavaScript uses mp4box.js. C requires manual parsing, which is simplified here.
• Writing: All implementations copy the original file structure to a new file, as creating new .3GP files from scratch requires encoding audio/video streams, which is complex and library-dependent.
• Error Handling: Each class includes basic error handling for file operations.
• Metadata: Metadata extraction is simplified due to varying library support.
• Dependencies: Ensure the required libraries are installed for Python, Java, and JavaScript implementations.
• Sources: Information is based on 3GPP specifications and web resources.

This implementation provides a robust starting point for handling .3GP files across multiple languages, with room for enhancement depending on specific use cases.

1. List of Properties Intrinsic to the .3GP File Format

The .3GP file format is an instance of the ISO Base Media File Format (ISO/IEC 14496-12), with specific constraints for 3GPP services. It uses a hierarchical box (atom) structure, where each box has a size (4 bytes), type (4 bytes), and content. Properties are the fields within these boxes. Below is a comprehensive list of key properties, grouped by box, including mandatory and optional ones based on the 3GPP TS 26.244 specification. These are intrinsic to the file format's structure and metadata (e.g., headers, timing, media descriptors), not the media data itself.
