Craig, you do have a way to introduce clueless arguments for the pure
pleasure of disagreeing.

I never said the MPEG process introiduces redundancy. Just try to follow
the discusasion, please.

I said the MPEG compression deliberately removes redundancy. That's how
it works. But then the digital transmission system reintroduces
redundancy in the bit stream, in the form of convolutional and block
forward error correction.

Get it? No reason to go on about how MPEG works.
