Comment # 5 on bug 10505 from
Thanks for the quick analysis.
In my opinion the MPEG Packetized Elementary Stream dissector is putting
information in a field that has other purposes. A time (PTS) is not a
destination. I can see that it is useful to see the PTS, but then it should be
in a "time" column, not a destination column. Maybe it would be an idea to add
a column (or a few) with a name like "relevant" or "related" (rel1, rel2..) to
show information depending on the payload. The MPEG dissector can use it to put
the PTS in there, another dissector can use it for other purposes.

 Me as network guy have added the columns "Net src addr (unresolved)" and Net
dest addr (unresolved)" for now.
