video.ts no sound on TV

[Anonymous]

I streamed a file using live streamer. It is a video.ts. On my LG BD 350 I have picture but no sound when i play it from a USB. Have sound and picture on pc in vlc. Here is media info

convert it to a normal mp4. ts - transport streams are not always supported formats.

what would do that , handbrake? Thanks

[pandy]

Check player configuration - perhaps AAC is sent in bitstream (compressed) way and TV is not capable to decode AAC - PCM audio instead bitstream may help (this should be not a case as EDID should prevent player to sent AAC if TV is not capable to decide AAC but various vendors have corrupted HDMI implementation).

Assuming the player supports MKV, I'd start by opening the ts file with MKVMergeGUI and remuxing it an MKV to see what happens. It won't take long as nothing is converted or re-encoded.

Edit: I just looked and the manual and it doesn't list MKV support. That doesn't mean it won't play them but MP4 support is listed so try remuxing as an MP4 with MyMP4BoxGUI.

I tried converting to .mp4 with handbrake. now won't play on tv at all. In case i did not make clear it is a .ts not a VIDEO_TS. I will try other suggestions

My av deleted the setup.exe inMyMP4BoxGUI. There is no adware or anything bad in that is there?

[hello_hello]

If you downloaded MyMP4BoxGUI from the VideoHelp site you should be safe. Well you should be safe anyway. MyMP4BoxGUI isn't known to inflict anything nasty on your PC. It doesn't inflict anything on it at all.

You could also try Video To Video Converter. There's a portable version you can just download, unzip and run (the installer version contains some sort of adware if you don't opt out while installing). It's handy for remuxing jobs. Drag and drop a file onto the GUI and a window will pop up with a list of conversion presets. The last one under the "Video Profiles" tab is "Direct Stream Copy". When you select it the video and audio are copied and you can choose a new output container on the right. Add the job to the conversion queue and run it (even though you have to "convert", the video and audio are copied).
Most of the conversion presets also let you copy the video and/or audio instead of re-encoding. It might be an easy way to convert the audio to another format if need be without re-encoding the video. You could choose the MP4 preset, select copy for the video and another format for the audio (or even re-encode it AAC again) if remuxing doesn't fix the problem.

That works. Sound on the TV when played on a usb

Edit: I just looked and the manual and it doesn't list MKV support. That doesn't mean it won't play them but MP4 support is listed so try remuxing as an MP4 with MyMP4BoxGUI.

That works too. Sound on the TV when played on a usb. Audio out of sync on pc but ok on TV

I got MyMP4BoxGUI from the VideoHelp site . I think it is OK. Virustotal says so including the symantec scan even though my norton av deleted it. I whitelisted it

Thanks for the help

That's odd. I don't know why it'd be out of sync when played on a PC. Maybe it's a VLC issue, if that's what you're using.

Thanks for the help

You're welcome.

As an experiment i converted the video.ts i streamed to .MP4 with a few programs. Some have no fast forward on TV through my LG BD 350, some have. I wondered why this is?

[hello_hello]

It could be a muxing problem but I know nothing about MP4. When you say "converted" do you mean re-encoded?

Try remuxing a problem MP4 with MyMP4BoxGUI to see if that fixes it. Or try remuxing as an MKV with MKVMergeGUI.

The only thing I can think of that might effect the ability to fast forward is the keyint setting used by the encoder. If it's too large maybe the player refuses to seek. That's just a thought and may be totally wrong, but you could check with MediaInfo, assuming they're all encoded with x264, to see if the keyint setting varies much.

Someone else may come along with more clever ideas....

The problem is both streams are VFR mode ... Convert to CBR before any other process

You mean CFR? constant frame rate?
Do some programsdo this before converting to mp4 as some of them do have FF.? The one converted with wondershare video converter is one i rememeber as having fast forward. thanks

[hello_hello]

I didn't notice the MediaInfo report for the video in your OP was variable frame rate. Not that MediaInfo is necessarily getting it right, but....

You could test by opening one of the problem files as I suggested earlier to remux it, but you could also remux it a second time while specifying a frame rate. If you don't specify a frame rate when muxing with MKVMergeGUI (and probably most muxers) the video frame rate won't change. VFR in, VFR out etc. If you specify a frame rate, the output will be constant frame rate.
If it's VFR and you change it to CFR when muxing it'll probably put the audio out of sync, but it's just a way to test if a VFR is causing the problem.

Both streams being variable bitrate shouldn't matter. It might, but I doubt it.

Chances are it's the "few programs" you used for converting giving you a type of different output that's the problem. maybe that includes VFR, or maybe not. Which ones did you try? Some support VFR output, some don't.

Wondershare video converter produced an mp4 with FF. Mkvmerge's mkv did not have FF. Neither did MYMP4BOX one. I cannot recall all i tried. i do not understand the diference between muxing and re encoding but in these programs I justr clicked convert. Maybe some reencode when remuxing?

Muxing copies the existing video and audio streams and puts them in a different container, or the same container, but they're just copied. Re-encoding creates new video and audio streams because they're re-encoding. Remuxing won't effect the quality. Re-encoding will reduce the quality (often not enough to see, but in theory at least, it always does). MKVMergeGUI and MyMP4BoxGUI only remux.

If you take a particular video and remux it as an MKV with MKVMergeGUI and remux it as an MP4 with MyMP4BoxGUI and neither of them fast forward, it's likely to be something to do with the video stream itself. If after you re-encode it does fast forward that also points to the same thing as the re-encoded version would have used different encoder settings and obviously settings that allow your player to fast forward (could be it converted to a constant frame rate, or it could be something else).

Likewise if you take a video that does fast forward and remux it as MKV or MP4 and either of the new versions don't fast forward, then it points to it being a problem with the way the MKV or MP4 is muxed, and not a problem with the video itself.

All you can really do is remux and re-encode and try to work out why through trial and error.

Thanks for the explanation re mux and re encode

One of the programs will do them ok so it is ok. I was just curious really
