I see you can't miss any opportunity to make a personal attack, even
when YOU know I am right.

| Finding the frame isn't the issue. As I keep saying:
Actually, there aren't any real issues at all. But software
originally designed for DV could readily assume each frame begins
120000 or 144000 bytes beyond the previous frame, and to get to any
frame number, multiply 120000 or 144000 by the frame number and do a
file position seek to that byte number. Such software would have to
abandon that assumption for HDV (or MPEG).
If you think there are other issues, and you decide to start discussing
things based on the facts, merit, logic, and/or analysis, and end the
personal attacks to cover up your inability or preference to not
discuss things properly, then you should feel free to state what you
think these other issues are.

No corrections were ever posted. Only personal attacks were made.
Jeff Rife <wevsr@nabs.net> will find any and all excuses to avoid a
technical discussion based on the facts, merit, logic, and/or analysis
of the topic at hand, preferring instead to twist or selectively
interpret what people say in order to find a means to make personal
attacks, or incite flame wars. If you catch him doing this, you can
help others by posting a followup that points out the errors in his
postings. There might be hope in salvaging what could otherwise be
a smart person.
