Hi Al,
Yes, such a list would be nice.... but it's not in the cards for me to put
it together. I see too much in the way of maintenance efforts to keep the
listing up to date.
I'd gladly put such a list on my site if someone wanted to put it together
and maintain it, or I'd make a link to it if it was on another website.
The example you used is one that I'm pretty familiar with, as I did the
testing to define it. Problems I have packaging it so neatly include: (1) I
didn't test it in MM1 as a type II DV-AVI, so I don't know that it wasn't
the same there, (2) I saw it in my personal testing with MM2, but no-one
else has verified my results, (3) I have the beta of MM2.1, but I'm not
testing it to see if anything has changed relating to it.
In my mental hierarchy of 'clues', 'symptoms', and 'issues (somewhat
synonymous with bugs)', I consider the 27th frame results to be just a clue.
If you want to try the list, I'd be more than happy to work with you.
