avformat/mpegtsenc: Changed Video PES packet length to 0.
The rational for this is another issue that plex has exposed. When it is
conducting a transcode of video to HLS for streaming, my father noticed
artifacts when played on his GoogleTV (NSZ-GT1). He sent me a test file
and I reproduced it on my device of the same model. It is important to
note that the artifacts were not present when streaming to VLC or QuickTime
Player. I copied the command-line that plex used, and conducted all of the
following tests using FFmpeg git.
Transcode to HLS: artifacts on playback
Transcode to TS: playback is fine
Cat HLS segments into a single TS: playback is fine
Segment single TS file to segments: artifacts on playback
Segment single TS file to segments using Apple's HLS segmenter: playback is
fine
At this point I carefully examined the differences between Apple's HLS
segmenter output and FFmpeg's. Among the considerable differences, I
noticed that the video PES packets always had a 0 length. So I continued:
Transcode to HLS using FFmpeg with 0 length PES packets: playback is fine.
Segment single TS to segments with 0 length PES packets: playback is fine.
All failures mentioned are only on the GTV since it is the only player on
which I could reproduce artifacts. I only tested the GTV, VLC, and
QuickTime Player though, so my test case is limited. I do not know if
other players exhibit this issue.
Since it was useful last time, I have uploaded the test file as
hls_pes_packet_length.m4v along with its associated txt file which contains
the transcode command-line that was used.
