Nooooooooo!  This has got nothing to do with FFmpeg.  Please understand!  Do 
not mention FFmpeg or ask me to go to their mailing list again!

I never used FFmpeg in the first place.  I used tsMuxeR to mux into m2ts 
files with LPCM  I then tested these with MPlayer and found blocking 
pixelation in sections.  Thanks to Carl, he recommended -demuxer lavf.  This 
FIXED the blocking  / pixelation problem.  However, the [pcm_bluray @ 
01c6e5c0]PCM packet too small error in red would show none stop.

I have track this down to a regression.  I am using at the moment svn r38116 
dated 2018 09 19.  I Just tried a version of MPlayer in 2013, 2014, 2016. 
The video was perfect and "No" problems with blocking "or" the PCM packet 
too small error.

I'll try and get svn-38119 dated 2018-12-25.  That is the latest I can get 
at the moment.

Cheers,

Bill
