RE: Question on Continuity Counter field

[<Rod.Walsh@nokia.com>]

Hi

It is implementation dependent. Most likely a receiver would assume it has missed some packet(s). The spec doesn't specify the behaviour of a receiver. The spec only specifies how required parameters (incl. the continuity_counter) are coded.

Cheers, Rod.

Hi,
I have a question about the continuity counter field in the TS packet header. May be someone in this group has the right answer : what heppens if an MPEG receiver receives an out of order TS packet? that is, for the same PID, the CC field value of a received packet not equal to CC field value of precedent TS packet + 1

Is there one standard behavior or is it implmenetation dependent? can CC check as the receiver be disabled?

(oups, this makes 3 questions already)

thank's and best regards
