Glad to hear it works!
The demuxer is not listed as a dependency as there is nothing
inherently tying the video codec to the container. In the same way
that mpeg-4 encoded video can end up in mpeg, avi, mkv, etc container
formats so too may dirac encoded video be used elsewhere. In this
particular case the container was an mpeg2 transport stream (hence the
.ts extension) which is the reason for the use of an mpeg2 demuxer.
Hope this helps,
cheers,
Owen.
