Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-11-19 16:19:42 UTC 
An container format known as PVA exists in DVB (digital tv) world.

It is often chosen because it is smaller (disk size) than a full MPEG TS (which
could contain several video/audio/subs/EPG/other streams)

PVA is smaller because AFAIK, it can only contain 1 MPEG audio ES and 1 MPEG
video ES

mplayer can decode PVA format (it has a demuxer for it, perhaps a special case
in one of their MPEG demuxer)

a sample file is available in your (ronald's) FTP in my server
MCM POP - October 25 01 59 15.pva
it is 5MB.

Doesn't look like anybody is ever going to work on it and there doesn't seem to be any real demand for this feature. Let's close it for now
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-22 12:07:48 UTC 
libavformat seems to have support for it since 2007. I'll just enable that demuxer...
