This isn't likely to be a huge problem, but it allows us to reason more
about run-in. It also exposes my gripe about klv_read_packet() using
mxf_read_sync()

Does this patch have an effect on one of our samples?

I would allow 65536 bytes as well for run-in, even if that is against the 
standard. The MXF book for example says this:

run-in - a sequence of up to 65536 bytes at the front of the file that 
preceeds the first partition pack.

So I guess there is a chance of seeing files with 65536 byte run-in in the 
wild, and those files used to work...

Regards,
Marton

It passes FATE if that's what you mean. The intent is rather to pre-
emptively stop the ability for new broken muxers to pop up, which would
end up straying from the spec because mxfdec.c is being too forgiving

So I see. Hm.. We could report that to the publisher as an error in the
book. But I doubt they'd do a reprint for such a minor error.

This is potentially true, and would cause unnecessary annoyance. But
staying close to the spec is also of interest. Hm...

No.

As such, and if I don't misunderstand, this sounds to me
like an explanation why this patch should not be pushed.

If you want to encourage spec violating behavior in professional
muxers, sure. But for anyone who has to work with MXF, the ability to
tell the other engineer "no, go fix your damn muxer" is important. The
field is already a huge mess of broken muxers and demuxers. We should
make sure our own yard is in order

As always, I'm going to point out that we'd be better off using bmxlib

I can not follow your logic.

Apart from: This is - fortunately - not what we do for all other
formats (we wouldn't be here for a very long time if we did):
Why don't you print a warning?

This can only be true for muxers (and encoders), never for
demuxers (and decoders).

Eh, that doesn't really accomplish much.

I guess I'll have to look at this from the positive side: more people
writing broken muxers means more consulting hours for the rest of us!

But if a reprint ever happens it is more likely to contain reported
issues than unreported ones. So i agree its a good idea to report it
