[vlc-devel] Private substream for closed captioning data from video capture cards

First, apologies for the previous post with all of the goofy html in it.  I
only get the vlc-devel digest messages and haven't figured out a good way to
reply to a single message in the digest.

In answer to your request for a sample, unfortunately the content is
proprietary, so I can't share it.  However, we do have an application that
we use to pull and index the closed-captioning data.  The debugging output
from this application shows the packet contents.  I may be able to send you
enough of the debugging output that you can see the pattern of good vs. bad
timestamps in the packet headers.

Let me know if that would be good enough, and where I can send it to you.
