ATSC, S-TMCC, M-TMCC, ISDB-T, or NON TS).

Data Rate:

Shows the bit rate derived from the PCRs in the stream.

Duration:

Shows the duration of the stream.

Packet Size:

number of super frames for a M-TMCC file, or the number of bytes for a
Non TS file).

Stop:

Sets the stop position of the stream by the number of packets (the

number of super frames for a M-TMCC file, or the number of bytes for a
Non TS file).

Play:

Shows the actual number of packets (the number of super frames for

a M-TMCC file, or the number of bytes for a Non TS file) that is calculated
by the values of the Start and Stop text boxes.

Format:

Shows the setting unit of the start and stop positions of the

stream. It shows Packets for a transport stream file, SF (super frame) for a
