How are access units aligned within PES packets in

2019-04-12 15:23发布

问题:

Does Apple specify this? How many access units should one put in a PES packet payload?

Also, I'm wondering which prefix start codes (if any) are present in PES packets. I assume that the one preceding the first NAL unit within an access unit is useless and mustn't be put. Right?

I'd like to know how it's done specifically in HLS - not necessarily any other MPEG-2 TS application.

HLS is a standard MPEG-2 TS stream. HLS does not do it any differently, except limit to a single audio and singe video stream. And limit codecs to AVC/AAC/MP3

For the rest of the answers, I will assume you are referring to the AVC codec. (AAC and and MP3 have different answers)

One. However for efficiency, the last NALU may be truncated on a TS boundary, and the remainder prepended to the next AU at the start of the next PES. This is optional, but it does reduce bitrate.

MPEGTS requires annex B style start codes. One start code before every NALU. An AU will have several NALUs as AUDs are required in mpegts.

Completely wrong. Every NALU must begin with a start code,
