Program stream

Program stream

Program stream (PS or MPEG-PS) is a container format for multiplexing digital audio, video and more. The PS format is specified in MPEG-1 Systems and MPEG-2 Part 1, Systems (ISO/IEC standard [http://neuron2.net/library/mpeg2/iso13818-1.pdf 13818-1] ). Program streams are created by combining one or more Packetized Elementary Streams (PES), which have a common time base, into a single stream. It is designed for reasonably reliable media such as disks, in contrast to transport stream which is for data transmission in which loss of data is likely. Program streams have variable size records and minimal use of start codes which would make over the air reception difficult, but has less overhead.

Program streams are used on DVD video discs and HD DVD video discs. The file extensions are VOB and EVO respectively. Blu-ray Discs use a transport stream (TS) format with an additional 4 byte time code added to the beginning of each TS packet [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MPEG_transport_stream&action=edit&section=11] .

Coding structure

If you open up an unencrypted VOB file or other program stream with a hex editor you will see the following structure.
