Re: My wishlist entry

Hi all,
the header bytes in the DV data blocks let you compute the correct address
where the video data should go to, so if you write your codec in the right
way, you'll have some blocks missing, but that's all. Windows will need its
fixed buffer length for a frame, but that's all, I think.

I think the more likely event to occur is tape problems which result in error
blocks being sent over the wire, which do not contain any video information, 
but that's a different story :)
