Hi. Any one know of a free app to demux HD .ts file for OS X? I came across this blog that recommends MeGUI but Me GUI is Windows only.

I tried ProjectX but it doesn't work with h.264.

Thanks

tsMuxeR can demux TS files and it comes with a nice GUI. More generic command-line alternatives are ffmpeg and mplayer.

FFmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -i input.ts -an -vcodec copy -f rawvideo video.264
ffmpeg -i input.ts -vn -acodec copy -f rawvideo audio.ac3

Tracks can be chosen with -map 0:TID

MPlayer:

Code:

mplayer input.ts -dumpvideo -dumpfile video.264
mplayer input.ts -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio.ac3

Programs and tracks are chosen with -tsprog, -vid and -aid.

Thanks for the reply nm,

Unfortunately tsMuxeR doesn't work with snow leopard.

I'm a bit of an OS X newbie and really don't have a clue about comandline stuff.

Thanks for the info anyway.

VoxMac has fixed the tsMuxeR Qt GUI issues on Snow Leopard in his build: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...41#post9003541

Thank you nm

I installed VoxMac's unofficial version and it's working.

(Note to any one else doing the same you must remove/delete two Korean fonts from your library for VoxMacs version to work-details in the read me. And don't bother with the older official versions like version 1.8.24 which will load up but can't process files or 1.8.8b which is windows only!
For anyone who cares and for what its worth the checksums from my copy of VoxMac's tsMuxeR_1.10.6_VoxMac_Unofficial_Build.dmg from MegaUpload

It should work, but both the GUI and CLI are bit too complex for simple demuxing tasks. I'd rather use ffmpeg or MPlayer on command line.
