RE: MPEG2-TS activity in Bugzilla

Henri,

ISO-BMFF is also codec-independent. So what is proposed is support for another codec-independent container that is very widely used in the industry.
In general, a codec-specific container is a *terrible* design idea. 

The motivation is that it makes sense to support the container that broadcasters and operators have their infrastructure built on.
I personally don't really care which codec is used, so I intentionally don't want to get into the debate whether MPEG-2 *video* is good/bad/bad patent-wise.

Regards,
Alex.

Right, but usually there is some concrete motivation behind
introducing support codec-independent containers. I'm curious what the
concrete motivation is.
