[Mplayer-users] Elementary streams (ES)

Hi,

they are supported

no, it uses Transport Streams, AFAIK.

ES is video-only or audio-only, without timestamps and fixed-size
blocks/packs encapsulating.

hmm. it is not ES< just _based_ on it. upload docs on this format and some
sample file, i'll check.

supporting standard TS is on my TODO, but now i'm on holiday, can't code it
