<TITLE>Errors in Local File Output</TITLE>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Guys,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am working in a DVB environment. My final aim is to write an application to capture the TS output from VLS and stream it out on an ASI output card. So my first step was to "record" a file in TS format using the Local File option.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I had problems with this right from the start as the output file never contained pure transport packets and mostly obviously too small. Last night, however, I tried to stream the same file I used before using a 486 running Slackware Linux 8.1. The output was perfect (bigger than the .vob file as I would expect).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I streamed the same file this morning on different machines. It is a .vob file, size 11 268 096 bytes. Here are the results:</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>486 Linux 12 373 972 bytes ("correct")</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>AlphaServer running Linux 11 749 624</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Pentium III running Linux 11 026 388</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Celeron running Windows 11 322 166</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I hope you can shed some light on this! I have a Transport Packet Viewer I wrote (Windows only unfortunately). Let me know if any of you (VLS developers) wants it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
