TS and Comskip

what about my post makes you think I don't know precisely what an alternate data stream is? in fact my post makes no sense at all if you presume I don't know what an alternate stream is.

so in effect you've created your own extension to the .ts format that is only seen by a program that knows to look for it like your own ts reader; any other program just sees a normal .ts file. very clever. can't wait to take it for a spin.

Cause I read that as "so in effect you've created your own [file] format with a .ts extension". I'm a little lysdexic sometimes. I think I'll just go to bed now.

ah, yes, I see where reading quick you might have thought something completely different. on further review, my response post also seems a little impolite... sorta felt like I was being called stupid, but that really wasn't the case at all. let's have a quick man-hug, and call it a day

[whurlston]

Don't worry, I didn't think you were being impolite at all. I can understand your confusion.

You guys are making it too complicated (man hugging aside)

I would say the ts file is exactly the same format but there is also ADS data on digital broadcast

Code:

well, yeah, that's exactly what I said in my post before Bill confused matters. sub created his own extension to the .ts format by adding timing info in an ADS; only a program looking for the timing info (like sub's ts reader) will see the timing stream; any other program will just ignore it and see a normal .ts file. and I still think it's a very clever solution to the problem.

If only it works.....

I suspect it does, martin & bill (and others) certainly already have the code; presumably us mere mortals will get our hands on it soon..

by the way,

....sometime on Sunday my head will probably just explode though

****BOOM****

Lol sorry - wont be today. Real life got busy so I'm running a bit behind schedule.

[johnsonx42]

no worries, just kidding around. it's just that your next release clearly has so many fixes, improvements and new features it's hard not to sit around salivating for it...

or perhaps I should just get a life? :eek:
