Hi Robert, there's a comment from robert.mcnamara on the ticket that says:
... please apply to current trunk as there is another fix to the mpeg
TS parser that is relies on...
Thats what made me think I'll need to move to trunk. I've been wanting
to move to trunk since VDPAU was added so this may as well be my
motivation. I'll just have to make sure I have a roll-back plan :-)
Any way, I have scanned and found ITV-HD now - many thanks for your help.
Regards
