My goal > is to have VLC to play the TS-stream, with lipsync. i'd like to give my point of view. maybe someone who know can comment on it.. AFAIK in the "linux dvb software stack" there are two different kind of problems. 1. correct buffer management, i.e. the PCR restamping issue. in general, in a transport stream with a fixed bit rate, each service has a counter called PCR useful to get "exactly" filled (not to much: overrun; not to low,: underrun) the small buffers in the "remote decoder" when you strip down all the PIDs except the ones you need for a single service, you are going to modify the rate of the saved stream SO you'll need to modify (restamp) the PCR to maintain the consistency of this counter.. otherwise you are going to see (during the replay of the stream on a decoder) artifacts coming from the underrun and overrun.. anyway, when you feed a video decoder like VLC on a PC, you don't see this kind of things because in a pc usually there is plenty of space in the buffers AND you have flow control, so the decoder can stop and start the reads from the file when it has full or empty buffers. but this is something we need to cope with, if we want to move to a better management of the MPEG TS features (expecially in constrained / embedded environment or in multicast/IPTV) BTW i just see (IIRC in some DVR dumps) that there are some tricks implemented to "fake" this PCR feature, using for example another counter (64 bits), in the head of each TS packets, where the recorder saves the position of the packet in the "original" full TS, so when the DVR makes the replay of the single service dump, i suppose it fills the decoding pipeline with NULL packets between every TS packet not adjacent, this way it restores correctly the original bit rate without any hard computation.. clever and easy! 2. lipsync (DTS/PTS fields). to get in sync audio and video streams there are these two fields with counters inside, and they are all about when decode and present (i.e. send to the screen and to the audio decoder) the video and audio frames.. how well are these fields supported in the linux video players, i don't know.. but it seems to me something valuable to be investigated if we want to improve the linux video applications. IMHO we shoudln't need to enlarge buffers or wait some time just to get insync audio and video IF the HW decoders are capable to do it sooner, better and with less resource.. it's just a matter of better software (in the long run) but of course, this is free (as freedom) software, so, thanks god AND all the people already working on it with this open attitude; it's already too much!! :-) i'd like to say we can do something on this topic, but we are working more on the infrastructure of DVB networks so it could be we can put something out WRT the PCR/fakePCR issues (and reduce artifacts and/or memory footprint in DVB applications) like a "smart DVB remultiplexer", an improvement of our software TS manipulator called JustDvb-It: http://krusty.cineca.it/vpweb/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi [yes, i know it seems dead since long time, but we are still working on it..] but we are not working on the lipsync issues because we are using HW boxed decoders. hope it helps > > When playing with mplayer I got video and audio out of sync.
