Right.

So the Blu-Ray specification is not a standard?  :-)

Huh?

Wikipedia sais: "A *technical standard* is an established norm or
requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform
engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices."

There's an official and very detailed Blu-Ray specification available,
which according to my understanding and also according to wikipedia's
definition makes it a "technical standard".

Sais the Blu-Ray specification.

Do you want ffmpeg to support common TS files which
are out in the wild or not?

There is software available which does these conversions,
as stupid as it may seem.

End users do not know what the software does in detail.
They just expect things to work. Now of course you can
hold your hands over both ears and say "la la la la". But
that doesn't change the fact that sooner or later people
will bump into TS streams with 0x80 Blu-Ray PCM in it.
Users of my "eac3to" Blu-Ray and HD DVD handling tool
already did come to me with samples of such streams.

I see no basic problem adjusting ffmpeg so that it detects
such situations. Heck, I've no problem with it complaining
about it. It could post a big warning "incorrect PCM track
detected" or anything. But just pretending that such
misformatted TS streams wouldn't exist is not the right
thing to do in my book.

If such descriptors are present. Unfortunately some
Blu-Ray tracks just have a "HDMV" descriptor and that's
it. You have no choice than to rely on the stream type
identifier sometimes.
