To reply to myself(!) dropping everything before the first sequence header (00 00 01 B3) seems to have sorted out the decoding errors. I was thinking I'd have to drop a lot of packets between the actual pictures but avcodec seems happy to be fed everything after the sequence header. Next step, implement PlayTsVideo and PlayTsAudio... Cheers, Laz _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
