Comment 102 for bug 1051559

In general we try to limit the number of supported formats. Web developer refusal to support webm compelled us to add support for h.264 in mp4. I haven't heard a similar argument for h.264 in mpeg-ts.

Also, we're implementing the Media Source extensions (bug 778617) which make is straightforward to remux ts as mp4 in client-side script for playback in the <video> element. So this is a use case which can be addressed without native support.

If you think native support for mpeg-ts is important, the following steps are the best way to further that goal:

- Open a new bug specifically for it, rather than arguing either way in this bug.
- Provide a factual argument why this is important.
- Provide a patch implementing the new feature.

I can't speak for the media peers, but I don't expect the support decision to change unless one of the rationales I mentioned above changes.
