[Ffmpeg-devel] pmf demuxing/decoding

[jonny at leffe.dnsalias.com]

hi

i've experimented with pmf some time ago

the file have an header of 2048 bytes (sometimes 4096 bytes, iirc), data
in the header is quite obscure to me
streams are muxed in an mpeg2 container (as defined in 13818-1)
actually audio and some additional data (probably used by the psp decoding
routines) are stored in private_stream s

afaik there is no open source code to play the audio

an open source pmf player exists on psp, but it uses the psp api to
parse/decode av (so it's probably not useful for you)
(you can find it on forums.ps2dev.org, i can't give the exact link since
the forum seems temporary down)

i've written a demuxer (in perl) some time ago, it also dump the
private_streams (quite-ugly-fast-written-code, but i can post it if
someone want)

cheers
jonny
