 Note that this one has a string for the video (null-terminated). This obviously calls that video which is the Myst fly-by for the linking book. And, that rect perfectly matches where the video should be displayed on screen. However, this also clearly breaks the format specified above for "type 2 hotspots".
-WDIB 3 is the cover of the Myst linking book. But, this doesn't match up with the video mentioned here which should be for WDIB 10 (the open linking book with the water image) and eventually ending at WDIB 12 (the open linking book with the dock image). The 5 after the very large numbers is the target card for the open linking book which seems correct.
