stream_type - attempt to determine if an input stream is TS, PS, or ES SYNOPSIS
stream_type [switches] <infile> DESCRIPTION
TS tools version 1.11, stream_type built Nov 11 2008 17:15:48 Attempt to determine if an input stream is Transport Stream, Program Stream, or Elementary Stream, and if the latter, if it is H.262 or H.264 (i.e., MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/AVC respectively). The mechanisms used are fairly crude, assuming that: - data is byte aligned - for TS, the first byte in the file will be the start of a NAL unit, and PAT/PMT packets will be findable - for PS, the first packet starts immediately at the start of the file, and is a pack header - if the first 1000 packets could be H.262 *or* H.264, then the data is assumed to be H.264 (the program doesn't try to determine sensible sequences of H.262/H.264 packets, so this is a reasonable way of guessing) It is quite possible that data which is not relevant will be misidentified The program exit value is: * 10 if it detects Transport Stream, * 11 if it detects Program Stream, * 12 if it detects Elementary Stream containing H.262 (MPEG-2), * 14 if it detects Elementary Stream containing H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC), * 5 if it looks like it might be PES, * 9 if it really cannot decide, or * 0 if some error occurred Files: <infile> is the file to analyse Switches: -verbose, -v Output more detailed information about how it is making its decision -quiet, -q Only output error messages TS tools version 1.11, stream_type built Nov 11 2008 17:15:48 Attempt to determine if an input stream is Transport Stream, Program Stream, or Elementary Stream, and if the latter, if it is H.262 or H.264 (i.e., MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/AVC respectively).

esmerge - merge audio and video ES into a TS DESCRIPTION
Usage: esmerge [switches] <video-file> <audio-file> <output-file> TS tools version 1.11, esmerge built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46 Merge the contents of two Elementary Stream (ES) files, one containing video data, and the other audio, to produce an output file containing Transport Stream (TS). Files: <video-file> is the ES file containing video. <audio-file> is the ES file containing audio. <output-file> is the resultant TS file. Switches: -quiet, -q Only output error messages. -verbose, -v Output information about each audio/video frame. -x Output diagnostic information. -h264 The video stream is H.264 (the default) -avs The video stream is AVS -vidrate <hz> Video frame rate in Hz - defaults to 25Hz. -rate <hz> Audio sample rate in Hertz - defaults to 44100, i.e., 44.1KHz. -cd Equivalent to -rate 44100 (CD rate), the default. -dat Equivalent to -rate 48000 (DAT rate). -adts The audio stream is ADTS (the default) -l2 The audio stream is MPEG layer 2 audio -mp2adts The audio stream is MPEG-2 style ADTS regardless of ID bit -mp4adts The audio stream is MPEG-4 style ADTS regardless of ID bit -ac3 The audio stream is Dolby AC-3 in ATSC -patpmtfreq <f> PAT and PMT will be inserted every <f> video frames. by default, f = 0 and PAT/PMT are inserted only at the start of the output stream. Limitations =========== For the moment, the video input must be H.264 or AVS, and the audio input ADTS, AC-3 ATSC or MPEG layer 2. Also, the audio is assumed to have a constant number of samples per frame. esmerge <video-file> <audio-file> <output-file> TS tools version 1.11, esmerge built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46 Merge the contents of two Elementary Stream (ES) files, one containing video data, and the other audio, to produce an output file containing Transport Stream (TS).
