remuxing TS to MKV ?

[pieroxy]

Is there a tool to remux a TS file to MKV? The codecs I'm interested in are h264 and AC3/DTS specifically.

Thanks

For Video Streams:
1°/ .ts to .mp4 with the VLC Wizard.
2°/ .mp4 to .mkv with mmg.
For Audio Streams : probably mplayer/mencoder...

Errr, thanks (for the video part) ;)

For Audio Streams, try with mencoder (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=114361)

i doubt it :D

i would demux the video stream to raw .264 with mencoder and remux this .264 to .mp4 with mp4box and mp4creator

Why ? Did you try ?

My tests show that mp4 are compliant and playable...So.

For some reason, vlc is considered by many as a piece of sh*t. Go figure.

Thansk for all the help, I'll get to work right now ;-)

I use Project X to cut out the commercials and demux my files (nice thing is it does it without transcoding), then I mux to mp4 with MP4box. If you still want to use MKV, you can just import the MP4 in theory, though I haven't tried myself because I tend to use MP4 anyway.

Come to think of it, you should just be able to take the demuxed files from Project X and throw them straight into MKVmege (for some reason I was thinking of raw H.264 when you mux to MP4 then to MKV). Actually if you do have H.264 streams in your TS you may have to use mp4box anyway :confused:

Hope you can make sense of my chopping and changing :p
