| Offset | Size | Name | Notes |
| 0 | 2 | version | 5 |
| 2 | 2 | unknown | Always 1; possibly a version number specifically for this header |
| 4 | 4 | struct_size | Right now, 32. The meaning is a guess; treated as a magic number by the RTV code |
| 8 | 4 | num_channels_1 | The number of ReplayChannels in the GuideSnapshot file |
| 12 | 4 | num_channels_2 | In a valid exported GuideSnapshot file, will always match num_channels_1. This copy is incremented while the ReplayShow records are being exported, to keep track of how far in the process the export is. |
| 16 | 4 | group_data_offset | Offset in bytes from the beginning of the file for the start of the GroupData record. Should always be 32 for this version of the file format. |
| 20 | 4 | channel_offset | Offset in bytes from the beginning of the file for the beginning of the first ReplayChannel record. Should always be 808 for this version of the file format. |
| 24 | 4 | show_offset | Offset in bytes from the beginning of the file for the beginning of the first ReplayShow record. Should always be 808 + 624 * num_channels_1 for this version of the file format. |
| 28 | 4 | GuideFlags | This isn't initialized before being written; undefined bits should be ignored (for this version of the file format, at least) |
