Remarks
Remarks
Two possible methods:

1. If EBP is present in the Transport Stream (EBP is from CableLabs Open Cable specification OC-SC-EBPI01) then this container level boundary point must align across all containers in the fileset, within a user defined threshold, when checking audio containers. If the container declares an audio threshold, the user threshold will not be used;
2. If EBP is not present, check for IDR frame alignment across all video streams in the fileset.

The user threshold is defined in milliseconds, and the threshold allows for a +/- time from the strict alignment, and this threshold only applies to audio containers when EBP is present.
