2.3 Media Properties Header
The Media Properties Header describes the specific media properties of
each stream in a RealMedia File. Components of the RealMedia system use
this object to configure themselves for handling the media data in each
stream. There is one Media Properties Header for each media stream in a
RealMedia file. The following pseudo-structure describes the Media
Properties header:
Media_Properties
{
UINT32 object_id;
UINT32 size;
UINT16 object_version;

0 (zero).
max_bit_rate: 32 bits
