"h264tsto" automates audio/video demuxing and MKV muxing

I don't even know what LATM is... :o

Ah well, as I've said in the past, h264tsto is really a simple tool which does not much more than automating Haali's filters. What Haali's filters don't accept, h264tsto will not be able to handle, either. And there's not much I can do about it. Except throwing away Haali's filters and reinvent the wheel myself - which I'm not going to do...

Would you be able to add the ability to use more than one file at a time, a la eac3to?

For example:
h264tsto sourceFile[+sourceFile2] [destFile] [-options]


Also, do you have any plans to remove dependence on dump.ax, perhaps using an internal method?

That's not possible cause there's no way for me to tell Haali's Media Splitter to handle multiple files at a time.

What would that be good for (except for being "nicer")?

[Snowknight26]

Sorry, I meant remove dependence on Haali's Media Splitter in favor of an internal splitter.

No chance in hell. h264tsto is nothing but a little automation tool for Haali's filters. What you're looking for will sooner or later be implemented in eac3to.

Good to hear!

@Madshi

An Option to select a specified AudioTrack for Remuxing would be nice

And can you add EVO Rebuilding ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Madshi
I have simple request. In order to remux *.evo for example to *.mkv you need MKVToolnix installed. How about using mkvmerge.exe located in the sample directory along with h264tsto.exe?

[madshi]

Why do you use h264tsto for EVO -> MKV remuxing? eac3to is the better choice for that and doesn't need mkvtoolnix.

[madshi]

And can you add EVO Rebuilding ?
Nope. I'm wondering why people want to use h264tsto instead of eac3to? eac3to can rebuild EVOs.

Because it has weird name. How was I supposed to know that? eac3to sounds like audio conversion tool. Don't think?

You're quite right. The name is misleading. eac3to started as an audio only conversion tool but grew into an audio/video tool. The problem is that it's quite well known now under the name "eac3to", so renaming it now would be a disadvantage.

h264tsto v1.5, freeware by madshi.net

This tool can either demux video/audio to separate raw files.
Or it can remux video/audio into a Matroska (*.mkv) container.
h264tsto sourceFile [destFile] [-options]

Options:
-demux demuxes video/audio streams to separate raw files
-videoonly remuxes/demuxes only the video stream, ignores audio
-audioonly remuxes/demuxes only the audio streams, ignores video
-24p rewrites the destination MKV timestamps to 23.976
-25p rewrites the destination MKV timestamps to 25.000
-30p rewrites the destination MKV timestamps to 29.970
-no24p don''t rewrite the destination MKV timestamps

Support input formats:
*.ts
*.m2ts
*.vob
*.evo
*.avi
*.wmv
*.mkv

The following software is needed:
(1) http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/
(2) http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.html#windows

Is there any plan to extend the demuxing to other types than audio/video, like teletext and subs, that normally exist in a SAT HDTV, you know like in ProjectX?

[madshi]

No, eac3to does all that. h264tsto is dead.

[Ghitulescu]

No, eac3to does all that. h264tsto is dead.

Glad to hear that eac3to can process the subtitles (from TXT and SUB) of a HDTV stream (.TS or .M2TS), since no documentation known to me ever touched this subject.

[madshi]

Ehm, well, some subtitle types are supported, some are not. But that's not a topic for this thread.
