FFMPEG more .avi inputs one .ts file

[lusky]

Hello people!!! =)

Can somebody please help me?
I want to put together three or more .avi files and convert them to one .ts file.

I wnat to do something like this, but with three or more inputs:
ffmpeg -i test1.avi -i test2.avi -i test3.avi -vcodec mpeg2video -s 640x480 -b xxxxk -acodec ac3 -ab 192k -f mpegts output_file.ts
Something like this, but here is missing something, please supplemented it.
I want to do something like in digital television, where we have in one frekvenc more channels and we can switch between the channels.

I hope you understand me and I realy hope anyone can please please please help me

You can't do this. It would mean you'd encode three mpeg2 streams in parallel at the same time. AFAIK there's not any encoder that can do this.

I think the procedure would be to encode avi 1, 2 and 3 separately and then mux it into a ts container. Perhaps then the FFmpeg -newvideo and -map commands allow to do this (I never tried).

[lusky]

Thank you for the reply!

I don't know so much about the command for ffmpeg, soo can you please tell me step by step how to do this?

[Chris K]

For encoding to separate mpeg2 streams you can use any good video converter,

I have no experience with ts muxing. I even don't know if what you want is possible.
Perhaps someone else can give you some advice on that?

I realy hope someone can help, because I have tryed so many thing and nothing work like I wont.
It hear so sympl but it isn't

[lusky]

I have another question

Can someone please post me how to map(with command -map 0:0,....) three .avi files into one .avi file? Everything remains the same. I mean the video codec, audio codec, resolution,...
I have tray something but it doesn't work.

[lusky]

Nobody know nothing about the mapping? Because I think that my problem can be resolved with mapping. But I don't know how it works. So can somebody tell me that with an example.
If something is not clear write me.

[Chris K]

OK... FFmpeg surprises me! It can encode multiple audio and video streams in parallel. Never tried it before because I never needed it.

Here's an example for two avi sources...

ffmpeg.exe" -i "c:\clip1.avi" -i "c:\clip2.avi" -vcodec mpeg2video -aspect 4:3 -s 720x576 -r 25.000 -vb 4000000 -acodec mp2 -ab 192000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -y "c:/out_clip.ts" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -newvideo -newaudio -map 1:0 -map 1:1

This is the output as reported by MediaInfo...

MPCHC can play them both but you have to select it at the "Navigate" menu as "Video angle" and 'Audio language".
Put some efforts in it and try it with three sources (add extra -i "source" and -newvideo -newaudio -map 2:0 -map 2:1 commands).

My experiment keeps in sync and doesn't show hic-ups but there's no guarantee it succeeds in any case.

Thank you very much. That works wery well
