That depends on the container format, and with some container formats on the parser. Any container format designed to be streamable would by definition survive corruption at the end. Provided the player doesn't get too upset if any metadata at the end is corrupted, but e.g. VLC handles such things quite well
- delecti 2y agoAs a fun example of "depends on the container format", one trick people used to use for sharing files on image boards (4chan and the like) was to concatenate a rar file and jpg file. I don't remember which order it was, but one of the two used a header (read start to end), and the other used a "footer" (read end to start), so you could use it either way depending on what you opened it as. I still have a handful of files which are books in PDF format in a RAR file, and simultaneously the book's cover as a jpg.
