* Extraction of h.264 into proper h.264 ES streams
The VobSub extraction was made more compatible with most applications. Fix for bug 245. Patch by Todd Schmuland (see AUTHORS). Explanation from Todd: I tried using mkvextract to get VobSub tracks out of a mkv to make sure I muxed in the correct subtitle stream. What I noticed is that programs like Subtitle Creator and VobSubStrip would error out on one particular sub file. After looking into it, the issue is in how mkvextract handles padding lengths of 1 to 7. There are two methods, the one mkvextract currently uses is to use the 00 00 01 BA packet where the 3 least significant bits of the last header byte indicate how many padding FF bytes follow. There's nothing wrong with this, however, many programs don't decode this properly and error out since they are expecting the next bytes to be 00 00 01. The other method is to pad the 00 00 01 BD packet header with FF bytes and simply increase the header length byte to include the pad count. For example where padding = 5: method 1 00 00 01 BA 44 32 4C 46 44 01 01 89 C3 FD FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 01 BD 07 E7 81 80 05 21 0C 93 11 91 <payload> becomes method 2 00 00 01 BA 44 32 4C 46 44 01 01 89 C3 F8 00 00 01 BD 07 EC 81 80 0A 21 0C 93 11 91 FF FF FF FF FF <payload> Notice the 00 00 01 BD total packet length increased from 07E7 to 07EC and the packet header length increased from 05 to 0A. The benefit of this is that the 00 00 01 BD header length includes the pad length with no additional work by a program's decoder, so the SUB file is always properly parsed while decoding. In fact the DVD this particular VobSub came from used method 2.

Schmuland, Todd <tschmula@gmail.com>
* Bugfix for VobSub extraction
* Bugfix for VobSub muxing
Try to detect invalid padding packet lengths in MPEG program streams. Patch by Todd Schmuland (see AUTHORS). His explanation: I was muxing a DVD and mkvmerge complained about losing sync while parsing the vob. I checked to see what was happening and discovered the length of a 00 00 01 BE padding packet was way too long. This resulted in several packets being skipped over and therefore caused a gap in the resulting mkv. I've seen this before where the packet length specified in a 00 00 01 BE padding packet is incorrect. I've made adjustments to the r_mpeg_ps.cpp code to detect when 00 00 01 BE padding packets have the wrong length specified. Padding packets should always fill the gap to the next 2048 (800 hex) page in the file. Now the code will detect lengths that are way too long, or lengths that are just under or just over what they should be, and correct it. I also changed it so that with one -v switch, you won't get 100s of mpeg_ps: parse_packet failed messages anymore. Adjusted padding packet lengths will be indicated with one -v switch, but now good 00 00 01 BE padding stream packets and 00 00 01 BF private 2 stream packets won't be output as failing anymore. I was finally able to get a good mkv mux of the DVD with the attached r_mpeg_ps.cpp file. I just did another DVD and it had a similar bad padding stream packet. Packet length in vob was 44036 but should only be 1918. The new r_mpeg_ps detected and corrected it, whereas the old code would have skipped (44036-1918)/2048 = ~21 good packets of video/audio.
