Timedelta formats:

(a) Win64: 64 bits unsigned integer, number of 1/10 microsecond
 - file format: Microsoft Word document (.doc), ASF video (.asf)

(b) 64 bits float, number of seconds
 - file format: AMF metadata used in Flash video (.flv)

Other file formats use multiple numbers to store a duration:

[AVI video]
 - 3 integers (32 bits unsigned): length, rate, scale
 - seconds = length / (rate / scale) 
 - (seconds = length * scale / rate)

[WAV audio]
 - 2 integers (32 bits unsigned): us_per_frame, total_frame
 - seconds = total_frame * (1000000 / us_per_frame)

[Ogg Vorbis]
 - 2 integers: sample_rate (32 bits unsigned), position (64 bits 
unsigned)
 - seconds = position / sample_rate
