 I am trying to create !CableLabs compliant VOD streams using ffmpeg. The
 spec for these files (!CableLabs Video-On-Demand Content Encoding Profiles
 Specification: http://www.cablelabs.com/projects/metadata/downloads/specs
 /MD-SP-VOD-CEP-I01-040107.pdf ) requires that the PMT have a PID of
 0x01E0, decimal 480 (see section 4.5 on page 6). The lower bound on the
 mpegts_pmt_start_pid which appears to set the PID of the PMT has been
 given an artificial lower-bound of  0x1000, decimal 4096. Given this
 artificial lower bound, I can not set the PID to conform to the spec.  My
 understanding is that PIDs less than 16 are reserved, but otherwise, I am
 unsure of any other reason for restricting the lower bound of the PMT PID.
 I have attached a minor patch that simply changes the lower bound on this
 particular argument. Please comment if you know of any problem this could
 cause elsewhere.

 Thank you,

 -Loren Osborn
