<DIV><SPAN class=046355318-05032005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm writing a demux
module for VLC that will demux .TY format files (data extracted from TiVo
devices). I could submit the source to become part of the VLC project
if there's interest.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046355318-05032005><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question,
however, is what is the purpose of packetizing the audio & video within a
demuxer? I've tried both ways in my module. That is, just sending
bits and pieces (non-packetized) MPEG audio & video to the codecs and also
by employing a packetizer and thus sending only complete packets to the
codecs. Both methods appear to produce the same results. The result
is great either way. So what's the advantage (if any) of using a
packetizer?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
