M?ns,

I have been looking at this and come up with the following information which
may help you with any investigation:

Firstly I ran the output mpeg through Phillips DVD-Video verifier which
spewed out many DVD/Mpeg issues but a few were interesting to this
problem...

First: [DVD] ERROR 3235  (ref. DVD-3 Fig. 5.2.3/4/5-1)

(see:
http://www.licensing.philips.com/includes/download.php?id=6106&filename=2498
.pdf)

Search for "ERROR 3235"

This error would indicate that the max payload for LPCM PES packets is 2017
where as the output mpeg has 2019...

Also: [DVD] ERROR 3870  (ref. DVD-3 Table 5.2.4-1, note 3) :
    The number_of_frame_headers (7) must describe the number of audio frames
(6)
	whose first byte is in this A_PKT

And: [DVD] ERROR 3871:
	The first_access_unit_pointer (value 4) must describe the address
	of the first byte of the first AU in this A_PCK


The first "error" can be sorted by reducing the payload_size and adjusting
the stuffing. The last two issues pointed me to investigate the audio
substream headers in dvd's (please see attached - if it comes through!).

The issue here is that the first 3 bytes of the header (frame count, and
offset to first access unit) are always the same in mpeg.c yet I assume they
need to be dynamic. Also FrmNum in the fourth byte should be dynamic too.


It is unclear to me whether these are purely DVD Vob issues or mpeg 2
program stream issues too.

Hope this helps.

Chris
