Validation Checklist
- Compare playback startup and decode behavior between short MPEG clips and the broadcast-oriented MPEG sample.
- Verify fallback handling when older MPEG inputs enter browser, desktop, or transcode workflows.
- Confirm duration and metadata reporting stay stable before adjusting legacy-video support paths.
