and there are many codecs which have several chunks all the mpeg variants do, but they have startcodes so its a non issue
Hmm... I've never heard of MPEG1/2 stored with OOB data. Have I been looking in the wrong places?
no, ive never heard of it either ...
see: http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/codecs.pdf
matroska specifies how to put mpeg1/2 seq headers out of band ...
Oh no... That is only asking for trouble. ISO 13818-2 requires them to be inband, and all decoders will be expecting them there anyway. A container should never do things that directly violates the specs of a codec. However stupidly designed a codec is, attempting to "fix" it at the container level is more stupid. -- Måns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com
