Interlace Flag?

The interlacing information doesn't seem complete to me. How do you know which field(s) you have in any give packet, for example? How do you distinguish between a 25Hz shutter and a 50Hz shutter? Field order switching? Mixing with uninterlaced data? --Gumboot 03:00, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)

In my experience, all interlace is every other frame, even scanlines followed by odd scanlines. Is there any video codec which supports more than an interlace flag? --Arc 10:42, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)


Variable frame-rates

There doesn't seem to be any handling of variable frame-rate data, or a specification for a timebase for the granulepos. --Gumboot 03:00, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)

Granulepos is the last frame decodable in the current packet/page. As far as variable framerates within a single stream, is there any codec which supports this currently? --Arc 10:42, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)


Codec Identifier

The identifier seems a little short. You'd get false positives if somebody wanted to use a "YUVx" format, for example. --Gumboot 03:00, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)

I believe that's OK with raw formats, if someone wanted to use a YUV-like codec they could use a prefix, vs a suffix, to identify it by. Also, if their header packet ID is something other than 0x00, it will not generate a false positive to have a YUV* codec identifier since the YUV plugins only support streams which begin with packet id 0. --Arc 10:42, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)


Aspect ratio

Is the aspect ratio the pixel aspect or the frame aspect? --Gumboot 03:00, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)

Frame aspect, this acts exactly like the aspect ratio in the Theora header, right down to having the same bit-size for the fields. Typically, the ratio is 4:3 or 16:9. --Arc 10:42, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)
