[linux-dvb] Re: korrupt MPEG2 Stream

[Martin Kuhne <Martin.Kuhne@gmx.de>]

Inisting on specs and standards may be the Right Thing technically. Let the
others fix their broken software.
However, it's a bad service to your users/customers. They are stuck with
incompatible software and they don't care whose fault it may be.

Hmm, yes Windows itself and e.g. Word are also commercial and not very cheap
and
we know about their great file formats and compliance to standards ...

Sorry, we cannot support software which we don't use/own ourselves.
All Linux based MPEG2 players I tried do not seem to have a problem.
Show us the passage in ISO/IEC 13818-1,2,3 (the real definition of MPEG2
files) which we violate or a bug in our programs and we will fix it.

If you want more, well, it's open source.
