Hmm... I've never heard of MPEG1/2 stored with OOB data. Have I been looking in the wrong places?
h.264 does too but with, the startcode prefixes being optional, IMHO we should just require the startcode prefixes to be in there ...
Makes sense.
then there are some mov based codecs like qdm2 which maybe need several chunks, they currently simply copy a whole set of mov chunks blindly into extradata in ffmpeg, that of course is a terrible mess which someone should fix in ffmpeg ...
Whoever designs codecs like that should be shot. -- Måns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com
