[linux-dvb] Re: DVB / MPEG2 docs

[Dave Chapman <dave@dchapman.com>]

Glyn,

The first document to look at is the ISO/IEC 13818-1 standard.  This is a 
priced publication, but copies can be found and downloaded via google.  This 
describes (amongst other things) how MPEG-2 video and audio streams are 
encapsulated into Transport Streams.

The DVB standards themselves extend ISO/IEC 13818-1 and are available free 
from www.etsi.org.

The most useful place to start is ETSI EN 300 468, this details all the 
service information (i.e. metadata) that is broadcast in a DVB stream.  You 
may find my dvbtune application useful - it attempts to dump all of this 
service information as XML (the -i option).

I don't have any reference for MHEG.  

Dave.
