Hello all,

I have a question about the generation of the MPEG-TS (This is partly due to the fact that when I search for "MPEG TS" on the forum, the website tells me "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: mpeg ts." ), more precisely on linux:

Has anybody had any success with ffmpeg, as described here :

Or are there other ways of generating a TS on linux ?

Hi Matthias,

I have tried some time back with ffmpeg on Linux but found varying results.
I used it to generate the TS but i did not know about the settings from your link like stream ID and PIDs.. they look interesting!

If i remember correctly the TS output from ffmpeg was not 100% correct so it showed a number of errors on a dvb receiver.. plus the fact it was not including the other DVB specific information.

Hopefully someone else will comment, i'm sure there are others using ffmpeg...

I'm trying to feed my surplus TV/Com DVB-S QPSK modulator with an ASI output from a DVEO "Master" card. The TS is generated with VLC but I've been unsuccessful in getting a picture on my RX (profdec from China). There's an issue with the service descriptor (service provider & name) not being properly inserted in the SDT. I guess that's the reason I don't see my input video. If I stream to a file it plays just fine. I hadn't realized that FFMPEG is also a viable TS generator candidate. I'll have a go at it, especially after someone remarked that "there's a lot VLC doesn't know about transport streams".
