Cool dissector!

You may want to register your dissector as part of the growing mime
media type dissector type table. This would allow any dissector which
generically handles mime content to dissect mpeg data. It's pretty easy
to add media type support :

dissector_add_string("media_type", "text/plain", text_lines_handle);

Very cool! Thanks for the pointer. Would it be reasonable, then, for
the MPEG wiretap to register itself as a provider of audio/mpeg and
video/mpeg?

Cheers,
Shaun
