tstools Cross-platform command line tools for working with MPEG data (TS, PS and ES)

Cross-platform command line tools for working with MPEG data.
The emphasis is on relatively simple tools which concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and H.262) data packaged according to H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular interest in checking for conformance.
Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution of cable and satellite data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used to store data on DVDs.
The tools are focussed on:

• Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
• Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream (esdots, psdots)
• Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/fields (esreport)
• Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter, esreverse, esmerge, ts2es)
• Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors (tsplay)

There is an Overview of the tools on the wiki.

They also have a little section

MonoLite, MPEG2Repair & NullPacketSaver MPEG2 transport stream tools

Unfortunatly these are just windows EXE's and no code, sorry linux users :(

This is code from Mark Wilczynski

From MPEG2 HDTV Transport Stream Tools:

monoLite - Alternative TS file player for NMT based media players.
Alternative player application for NMT (Network Media Tank) based media players such as the PCH-A100, PCH-A110, and others from E-Great, HDX, etc.


MPEG2Repair - Used to find and repair errors in MPEG2 transport stream files.  Windows application for testing HDTV transport streams to make sure they are Mpeg2 compliant. It detects and repairs low level .ts (transport stream) errors. It is useful for fixing MPEG2 streams received via broadcast systems like ATSC or DVB, before loading them into other video editing and/or repair tools like VideoRedo or ProjectX.



NullPacketSaver - Used for splitting, joining, and null packet backup of MPEG2 transport stream files.


It looks like this code's moved around a bit since he's hosting it on his DSL/Cable Providers site.   A google on mwilczyn is interesting.

Open Broadcast Encoder

Open Broadcast Encoder is a fresh implementation of an open source transcoder/transmuxer. It is designed from the ground up to be both flexible and scalable enough for use in both 24/7 live streaming and offline operations.

Open Broadcast Encoder aims to be compliant with all relevant broadcast industry standards and practices, with a special emphasis on quality and stability. Open Broadcast Encoder is based on existing high-quality open source projects including x264, FFmpeg and libmpegts.

The project is divided into two subprojects that share core components: OBE-RT for real-time 24/7 operation and OBE-VoD when dealing with file-based workflows.

Open Broadcast Encoder VoD 0.21

• VBR and CBR Transport Stream Muxing, full control of settings (e.g. PIDs, languages)
• DVB/CableLabs compliant VoD content muxing
• High quality AVC encoding powered by the x264 encoder, including support for 10-bit and 4:2:2 input with high speed colourspace conversion
• Input support from a huge range of formats through FFmpeg
• Support for AC-3, MP2 and AAC (LATM and ADTS) audio
• SCC caption file input. ATSC/Echostar captions supported
• Support for soft pulldown
• DVB 3D and CableLabs 3D support
• DVB AU_Information support

Open Broadcast Encoder Realtime 0.1 Alpha

• HD/SD SDI input with Decklink cards. 10-bit to 8-bit dithering and high speed 4:2:2 to 4:2:0 colourspace conversion
• AVC encoding using the x264 encoder
• MP2 audio encoding
• Full control of the TS mux parameters
• UDP/RTP output with unicast and multicast output support
• Experimental IP-in to IP-out transcoding with audio and PID passthrough

OBE VoD and OBE-Realtime can be downloaded from Google Code.
