Glad to hear it John. Just to give you a small example of what it can do: I have used it for testing the output of my systems. I take my UDP/IP output of MPEG-2 transport stream packets and send it to a computer with VLC. On VLC, I tell it to convert the packets to DVB-ASI output, and then I test that output using TS_Reader (and EtherGuide Ferret) on a third computer. It's is about $1,000 (or more) cheaper than commercial software that does the same thing. If you get any commercial (real or potential) benefit out of it, you should become an MPEG-LA license. If you don't decode video, that's $0.50 per unit; if you decode video, it's $2.50.
