		+	Extra info by Kaspar:
		+	The number of frames is always equal to the "approx number" above + 1 (therefore we can consider that approx number as the last frame index if we start counting from 0 ).
		+	The only exception to this is disc03_04 wich contains 3 extra frame data (wich is probably pointless since the whole file contains blank camera animation anyway.

		+	Each Frame data sector is structured this way:
