 PES header contain information about the contents of the PES packet.
 Variable length packets typically up to 64 Kbyte but may be longer
 PTS and DTS allow a decoder to reconstruct the video from I, Band P frames sent by
encoder.
 If header information is corrupted, entire PES packet will be lost.
 Fixed Length packets, multiplexes many PES packets.
 Program Identifier (PID) contains information to find, identify and reconstruct
program contents
 Continuity Counter (CC) – 4 bit counter to detect loss or out of sequence packets
 Program Clock Reference (PCR) – clock reference to time sync the video and audio
 Sync byte set the start of a TS packet and allows synchronization
 Transport Error Indicator indicates a TS packet error
 PAT lists all programs available in the transport stream with their program ID (PID).
 Each program has a PMT that lists the elementary streams for that program.
