A very strange mpg2 stream

[colargol7]

Hello,

I've recorded a mpg2 stream from french broadcast (Canal+ chanel, DVB-T signal)

It plays fine with directshow players.
But the problem is that many programs don't like the stream, like videoredo for example. It generates errors.
It concerns some TV shows from this chanel

Here is a sample (cut with mpg2cut2)

I asked some friends, they all have this problem.

My goal is to keep mpg2 quality without encoding.
- What is going wrong with this stream, what are the apecific features that avoid using it with some software?
- Is there a way to fix it, so that I can use it with videoredo for example?

Thanks for your help.

The only solution I've found is remuxing in PS with Womble.
It's quite long :confused:

It's full of field order reversals. Some decoders can accept that, such as DGIndex. Some apparently cannot.

Ok thank Neuron!

Is there a way to put the fields in the correct order easily?
maybe faster than Womble do it...
thx

You could make a tool like DGPulldown to fix the TFF/RFF flags in the same way that "Fix D2V" works in DGIndex. I don't have any spare capacity right now to do it.

If you run it through tsmuxer, and make a "new" .ts it works ok in videoredo. It only retains 1 video + 3 audio tracks, and the subs and other information is not retained.

Thanks for your replies
Before making a tool, I think I have to study mpg2 properties for a long time :p

tsmuxerGUI doesn't want to open my stream :confused:
(none of the tracks are recognized)

Hello, I am using tsmuxergui 1.8.18b (released about a week ago, but the gui is older version, the exe is dated 2/17/2009), it worked fine on your sample

EDIT: I tested using the older tsmuxer, and it worked too... Maybe it's a configuration or system issue? I'm on XP 32-bit SP2

Here is the file "rewrapped" by tsmuxer:

I tried older and recent versions, but I don't manage to import video : tracks are not recognized (other ts works fine) :confused:

Thanks anyway
Your remux plays fine

Are you on Vista? Maybe you have to run as administrator / disable UAC ?

I have the same OS as you (SP3)
