I preffer simplicity over compactness for the info packets...
i wont object against a single stream id and single start/stop time per info packet as long as the overhead is not unreasonable
i am against your overlapping restrictions and negative chapter ids
packet: streamid=-1(all), startTime=0, len=sth_big, Title=foobar packet: streamid=-1(all), startTime=0, len=123, Type="chapter", Title="Introduction" packet: streamid=1, startTime=0, len=sth_big, Lang=mixed, PrimaryLang=eng packet: streamid=1, startTime=100, len=50, Lang=ger
Hmm, you can do all this with the negative chapter ids, so what's the problem?
negative chapter ids are an ugly hack
and from where do we know the start/stop times of the chapters, iam strongly against putting all chapter start/stop times in a single packet
It would be nice if we could design this in such a way that the same in-band info stream frames for streaming content could be directly remuxed to info packets for easy chapter access in on-disk files (and vice versa). Rich
