Thank you, Konstantin.

Yes, the PTS_DTS_flags field should be repeated in the 4 bit field that you mentioned. I concur that for this stream the PTS_DTS_flags are 0x3 while the 4 bit "protection" field has 0x2. So formally, yes, it is incorrect. But the actual PTS value is valid. And I would argue that since you are demuxing the elementary stream anyway, the PTS's will be discarded, so why quibble about it when there is a perfectly good video stream there? This was captured off a live broadcast as transport, so there's no software that I can blame.

If you don't want to just ignore that field as DGIndex does, then I can live with it, as I have seen only a few streams that do this, and DGIndex can demux them. But again, I think you should just ignore it.

Now, since you are engaging me to address issues, I have a transport stream with 10 programs and for which XMuxer Pro detects only 1. I will mail it to you and would appreciate your looking at it.
