Encoding in mpeg2 ts (hdtv) possible?

[JoeT123]

Hello,

I've come across a dilema. I have a software application authored in Macromedia's Director MX 2004. It uses the Windows XP Mplayer 6.4 engine to run most content. And whatever MPEG-2 software was installed for mpeg capabilities.

Here's the issue. I run large video. 1600X600 and 1600X498 (30fps) inside this application. Currently all video formats I've tried tear somewhat. The only time I've seen "nice" video is some tests of some mpeg-2 ts files I downloaded off the web.

Trouble is I have no clue how to author a MPEG-2 TS file. And any vanilla MPEG-2 I've created have run badly. (out of Cleaner XL 1.5 and Tmpg Enc)

Is there a way to make normal MPEG-2 files that conform to my size specs and run as smoothly as TS files? Or is there a way to author TS files themselves.

I find it odd that a transport stream runs far better than just a normal MPEG-2 but it does. (not sure if this is a packet size issue or what)

Not sure if this belongs in MPEG-2 encoding or not since it's slanted towards HDTV streams.

Thanks,

Joe.

I believe you can use Elecard's Moonlight M71 muxer to mux a video and audio source into ts mpeg2 file.

Your playback software might be using a different demuxer/codec for TS files than it does for regular Mpeg2 files.

Try playing your regular MPEG2 files with Videolan (VLC) just to test it out.

If you feel like experimenting, you can try these utilities:

ProjectX will probably work better, however.
