Hi,

I'm using VLS 0.4.0 to multicast data from DVDs out to an ethernet
set-top-box. I find that with MPEG audio tracks, there is no problem.
However, with AC-3 audio, DVDs seem to contain an extra 4 bytes at the
start of each PES packet.

My understanding is that in DVB/ATSC compliant transport streams with
AC-3 audio, these 4 bytes are not present and that this header is only
found on DVDs.

Would it be possible for VLS to strip these out?
