Elgato Game Capture HD60 files

[yaston]

Hello,

I've got EGC HD60 i record from receiver... when i stop recording it gives me 2 file:

First one is TS. Second one is MP4. But it takes long time to create the MP4 file...



Now, the problem is: when it creates the TS file it devises it to many part, the longest one is about 17 minutes and when i try to merge them to 1 file it does problems.

What should i do?

Someone using the Elgato Game Capture HD asked for help with a similar problem earlier this year, since there is no way to configure Elgato's software to create a just a single TS file. TSSplitter was suggested for joining the multiple TS files to produce a complete recording. I don't know if TSSplitter worked or not because the thread's originator did not report back.

Emmmm it's weird :/

My guess is they use an off-the-shelf library that automatically splits TS caps into <4GB segments so it will work on FAT file systems (which have a 4 GB file size limit). Then they use another off-the-shelf library to remux from TS to MP4.

Then TSSplitter did not work well for joining the TS files?

The only other software that might work are transport stream editors such as VideoReDo TV Suite or Cypheros TSDoctor. These are not free, but have a free trial,

Of course i'm using VideoReDo TVSH264-4-21-6-674b

First time i merged the part with it and then with MkvMerge...

you should be able to do the same merge using ffmpeg

ffmpeg video.ts -vcode copy -acodec copy -y new_video.ts ... and might be quicker.

I'm confused. I'll admit that I rarely use ffmpeg, but I thought concat was used to join files. The code above appears to just remultiplex the audio and video contained in video.ts to new_video.ts.

[Edit] For example:

ffmpeg -i "concat:input1.ts|input2.ts|input3.ts" -c copy output.ts

would concatenate input1.ts, input2.ts, and input3.ts in output.ts

I made the mistake and left out more details in that original snippet. This is how I done it in the past, assuming that the two or more files have the same frame rate, etc:

ffmpeg -i video1.ts -i video2.ts -vcode copy -acodec copy -y new_video.ts

or

ffmpeg -i video1.ts -i video2.ts -i video3.ts -vcode copy -acodec copy -y new_video.ts

but your suggestion with concat would probably be better.

Who knows? "copy" might work better than "concat" with .ts files from the two HD capture devices from Elgato.
