When a MPEG Transport Stream file is indexed (to produce an index
(.tsx) file), our code skips over PES headers, so that the resulting
index file points *only* to MPEG Elementary Stream video data, not
PES headers (or any other non-MPEG-video data). The 'trick play'
code uses this indexed video data to generate new video data that
represents the new (fast-forward or reverse-play) stream.
This new video stream is then converted back into a MPEG Transport
Stream file. As part of doing this, our code inserts a new PES
header in front of the video data, before packaging it as MPEG
Tranport Stream packets. This new PES header is not an 'extra'
header; it is simply replacing the PES header that we skipped over
when we indexed the original file. I don't believe there is anything
wrong with this PES header; on the contrary, it is necessary in order
to make the resulting Transport Stream file (for the 'trick play'
stream) legal.
In summary: I believe that the Transport Stream data that our 'trick
play' code produces is legal; there are no 'extra' PES headers. If,
however, your decoder is not properly handling this 'trick play'
Transport Stream data because of something illegal that we are doing,
then please let us know (with specific details).
