Question

I have corrupted video stream with this header / parameters in the beginning.

00 00 00 01 67 64 00 1E AC D9 40 B0 33 FB C0 44  
00 00 03 00 04 00 00 03 00 C8 3C 58 B6 58 00 00  
00 01 68 EB EC B2 2C  

I’m trying to figure out the actual values, but all I have guessed is that

67 – AVC / H264 
64 00 - High Profile
1E – Level 30 (in decimal)  

Does anybody know what other bytes stand for?

At least, how to calculate video dimensions (Width x Height). I thought it should be decimal numbers but apparently it’s not. Or am I all wrong and it doesn’t work this way?
