[Bug 1051559]

[Riles]

In general we try to limit the number of supported formats. Web
developer refusal to support webm compelled us to add support for h.264
in mp4. I haven't heard a similar argument for h.264 in mpeg-ts.

Also, we're implementing the Media Source extensions (bug 778617) which
make is straightforward to remux ts as mp4 in client-side script for
playback in the <video> element. So this is a use case which can be
addressed without native support.

If you think native support for mpeg-ts is important, the following
steps are the best way to further that goal:

- Open a new bug specifically for it, rather than arguing either way in this bug.
- Provide a factual argument why this is important.
- Provide a patch implementing the new feature.

I can't speak for the media peers, but I don't expect the support
decision to change unless one of the rationales I mentioned above
changes.
