Have you checked what BMX does? Because as far as I remember for
RDD9 (XDCAM HD) this should not exceed 10 seconds.
I have not checked BMX. Also such constraints should be explicitly
documented and there should be tests for them. An option like -xdcam
might be appropriate. Currently there is no justification at all in the
code for the choice of 250.
Intent of RDD9 compliance.
I suggest adding an option for this with -1 default, and unless the
user
overrides it make it 238 in case of MPEG2 essence, and infinite (0)
otherwise.
I wouldn't be opposed to having it use a dynamic array. As for MPEG2,
that does stink a bit but perhaps it avoids causing grief for most
users. Here we again come to the problem that we don't know the
workflows in which mxf* are used, and I don't like that we're cargo
culting defaults.
I think we have a pretty good idea that MPEG2 in MXF usually means some
broadcast realted use, therefore intent of RDD9 compliance by default is
not insane at all for MPEG2 essence. Can we please keep it as default for
MPEG2?
There is also code which allocates the index entries in
EDIT_UNITS_PER_BODY increments, that probably should be replaced with
av_dynarray2_add...
That (re)allocation happens at most twice for assuming GOP size <
EDIT_UNITS_PER_BODY
The reason I bring this all up is because opening MXF files muxed by
lavf over HTTP is slow as hell. This will be true for any other storage
where seeking incurs a non-trivial cost. HDDs come to mind. Perhaps
that is really an mxfdec problem, but then parsing becomes even hairier
than it already is. We'd have to binary search the file when seeking,
hoping to find the necessary index table segments on-the-fly..
A sane muxer duplicates all index table segments in the footer, so a smart
demuxer can read the whole index from there. Yes, mxfdec problem. I have a
WIP patch somewhere fixing that.

Marton
