Hi J,

I appreciate the value of stats so I can tell that the stream had
errors, but how is this side data "helpful to a renderer attempting to
filter or conceal video decoding errors and artifacts" if there is no
information relating to the region of the picture where the errors are
present?  Is the assumption that an application will simply have some
threshold at which it decides to duplicate the previous frame rather
than showing the current one?

Thanks,

Devin
