Not true.
wait, EOR is "absolutely needed" and it works in containers which dont have EOR, how can both be true?
Other containers don't support correct seeking with subtitles unless they have an index of all subtitles.
i dont think this is true, maybe someone who knows the details about subs in mpeg-ps/ts could clarify but my suspicion is that there are rules in the relevant specs which ensure that the correct subs are displayed after seeking, and most other containers which support subs have an index ...
I'm quite sure mpeg-ps/ts make no provision for this.
The ISO MPEG PS/TS specs do not mention any subtitles. The DVD and DVB specs add their own subtitle formats to PS and TS, respectively.
Well, do they provide any mechanism to ensure that you have the correct subtitle displayed after seeking?
As for timestamp resets, you can't avoid them when broadcasting 24/7, unless you have infintely large timestamp fields.
64bit is long enough to run without problem until well past the end of the solar system... provided you don't choose timebase idiotically. :) Unfortunately I think mpeg uses 33bit or something and also uses idiotic timebase. Rich
