Hi I have been looking for a program like this for a while now so I can cut commercials out of transport stream files without the pain of demuxing them, cutting, and then remuxing. The bonuses are that its' a linux program, and that you can cut on any frame (I often wondered why no one had thought of that before - and just recode some of the mpeg to provide an I frame (I guess) at the cut point).
The problem is I have a few "troublesome" transport stream files that I wasn't able to deal with with my previous windows way of cutting mpegs either. The problems always happened with demuxing these files, and ending up with video and audio that would get progressively more and more out of sync the further into the file you went. So, I'm quite sure there's something strange with the way the encoder has been setup at the source where these transport streams are coming from, but they play just fine in VLC or Xine, or mplayer (but oddly, there are audio issues even on an expensive commercial satellite receiver I have, but on different receivers, they also work fine). I guess not very surprisingly, dvbcut cannot even find the audio tracks in these files, but if I hit the play button, the file plays back with audio (it's mplayer that's being used to play the file inside dvbcut?). Exporting the video works great, except there's no audio. There is a 10MB sample at http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/sp_dec5.ts.truncated . What is wrong with this transport stream, and can dvbcut be made to correctly identify the audio? The transport stream was recorded with TSReader, and there were no continuity or TEI errors reported while recording the file. PMT on 0x0020 with PCR on PID 0x190 ES Type 0x80 Video on PID 0x190 ES Type 0x81 AC-3 Audio on PID 0x191 If dvbcut could recognize and deal with this audio properly, I would be extremely happy! I tried the version of dvbcut that's in Debian unstable, and then read the mailing list and noticed there was some mention of AC3 audio in November, so I tried the current SVN version as well - still no audio detected.
