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. Audio is www.vialicensing.org
