[ExtractStream] No luck in the UK for 2.5.5

[Edmond E. Shwayri]

There are 2 different issues here :
[1] Extraction
[2] Conversion
For extraction the format of the file is irrelevant. If you want to do 
extraction check out the vplay source files (mfs_export) especially. It 
involves figuring out wheat the FSID sequence is and on what 
drive/partition you will find the next block. MPEG has nothing to do with 
this. Extraction is the process by which you locate and copy a file stored 
in the MFS database structure to a more common file system. It does not 
involve dissecting the file, but rather simply insuring you get all the 
parts of it,

If you are interested in 2, then yes you do need to understand the TY 
stream construction and the MPEG standard. I have done 2 big posts on what 
I know about them (or guess at least) on this list. Search the archive 
going back 1 - 2 months and you will find them. The PES are not completely 
MPEG standard (read my posts).
