  1. Hi. I've got a TS file and want to extract the audio track without re-encoding. I tried using the "Demux" mode in tsmuxer and got an AAC file but its length (02:57:56) is a bit shorter than the original video length (02:58:38) when played in MPC-HC. The AAC file length shown in the windows-included music player groove music becomes more than 3 hours long.
    I also tried just muxing the audio track to a new TS file. This time the output audio TS file length has no problem no matter what player it is being played in.
    But am I doing it right? I think demuxing is what should work not re-muxing it to a new TS file?
    Below is the video mediainfo. Thanks a lot!

  2. If the audio is in synch, then it's fine.
    Maybe the original Ts file has a timestamp problem.
    In this case a simple remux can help, because the timestamps are rewritten.

    Thanks for replying. Are there any software that can help me determine if the original and output audio files are indeed identical?

    I would say with out a doubt that there are identical and no need to analyze them,as to the length of the audio lots of videos have shorter audio than video time,as long as the audio is in sync then all is ok.
    I think,therefore i am a hamster.

  5. Is there any reason why the audio length is shorter than the video length? Do they use different units of time? If there’s no silence part at the start or at the end of the original file, then why would the audio length be shorter than video? I’m just really curious what leads to this situation.

    No specific reason I think. Very often audio- and videolength don't (exactly) match. They simply don't have to and will play fine. You'll find it even on dvd and blu-ray. So why bother.

    If you want to ask the creator, who is "they"? Everybody and his dog nowadays is busy with recoding, speedchanging, crossmuxing and whatnot. I bet that a lot wouldn't even be aware (or care) if audio playtime don't match video's.

    FWIW... remux the AAC stream to an MP4 or an M4A container and see what MediaInfo says then.
    The ADTS container doesn't use a global header and so it may be read differently by different applications /demuxers...
    and if the application or "filter" is not very versatile (so to speak), weird results may happen.

  8. I use mkvtoolnix and just output the audio track as .m4a. Shown below is the mediainfo of the output file. Am I doing it correctly? Are there any other softwares that can remux just the audio files? Avidemux doesn't allow me to input a single audio track and tsmuxer has no option of outputting as mp4 or m4a.
    Edit: But this does solve the problem of different players showing different audio lengths. Thanks.

    Yes. Both mp4box and ffmpeg can wrap .aac files in .MP4 /.M4A ones.

    As a friendly GUI to ffmpeg, for wrapping audio I often use ShanaEncoder.
