Are my .ts files corrupt or just useless?

[decoder]

I recently downloaded .ts files for 5 videos from .m3u8 streams using add-ons. Each video was downloaded into a separate folder and divided into a least 100 segments in .ts format.
Each of the 5 folders look something like this:


The site I downloaded the files from uses HLS Streaming, Adobe Pass, and SAMPLE-AES encryption. The 5 videos I downloaded are supposed to be in HD 720p with audio. The problem is that there is no audio and a gray/distorted "video" once the .ts segments are compiled (and converted) into a single .ts file or video file such as .mp4. I used different methods (batch, Adobe HDS / HLS Video Saver, tsMuxeR_2.6.12) to join the .ts files. All of them ended with the same, miserable results.

My .ts files look like this in Media Player Classic:



Wondershare Video Ultimate (yes, before and after):



VLC Player can't play my .ts file.

Movies & TV also doesn't play it all.
Error code: 0xc1010103


Am I not using the right method or are my .ts files just useless with pointless data? Do you think the site's encryption methods caused this to happen?

Downloaded?....like "transferred" from a cable or satellite box?

NO! It looks like it from the pictures, but only used my laptop and browser add-on to retrieve the .ts files. The problem I'm having now is reading them and figuring out if the data is real. If the data is real and not useless, then how can I properly compile the .ts files?

Post a link to one of them so we can analyze it. Probably it is encrypted though.

Rename one of those 0133x files to ts and check with MediaInfo to see if it's really identifying it as TransportStream. If you can't see any info about it, video is probably encrypted.

Here's information for 1 out of over 100 .ts files:

Here is 1 .ts segment out of 120.

I am working on uploading a failed compilation of the .ts segments now.

How can they be decrypted?

[badyu17]

I was wrong to think that it's only encrypted if you can't see the video parameters. Well, in this case you can see them, you can even see x264 SEI (encoding settings used) but some important part after that is scrambled just enough so that player can only produce garbage. As for decryption, I have no idea. Screen capture is an option. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

As for the .reg key file pictured above, this is what is says in Notepad when I open it:

Did the denial of access cause this garbage to be created?

Yes, they are encrypted.
