Hi again,

I've a question concerning the number of bytes used for the length in a KLV triplet.

I've been dissecting AVID OP-atom files and noticed that the length field in these files seems to be a fixed 9 bytes:

0x88.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx

when creating a new file using mxflib, the default number of bytes seems to be 4, unless the length of the value exceeds 16777216 bytes:

0x83.xx.xx.xx

Is there a way (parameter/feature/function) to change this default number of bytes to 9 bytes when creating a new MXFfile?

Probably the easiest way to make this non-standard behaviour is to modify the MakeBER() function in helper.h to always write 9-byte BER lengths. You could turn this into a user-defined feature if you want.
