why dont we simply add/invent a generic codec descriptor (fourcc,width,height, samplerate,extradata) in some private stream or such?

And then only ffmpeg would be able to handle these streams. IIRC there are already various tricks to handle other-than-mpeg1/2 codecs in mpeg ps, although not widely supported, still that would be better than inventing something completely new.

BTW what is the added value for trying to support all codecs in program streams? IMHO if you don't want to use avi, mp4 suits this use much better because it can handle all sorts of codecs natively. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
