Files Transport Stream, .ts and players DVD/BluRay... possible?

[vygger]

I am trying to understand (considering that I could buy this Player DVD/BR.) if the BD-390 reads the files Transport Stream.. the files .ts that is memorized on Hard Disk of flow origin satellite (Skystar HD2, Dreambox, ecc. ecc.), both in mpeg2 (the normal Standard television Definition) but above all, that in HD, that is the files .ts in HD with codec H264 of origin from the decoderses HD..
I believe that this possibility would be of exceptional importance.. In the specifications of the LG BD390 it generically seems him to me face reference to the mpeg2-TS... but I am not certain of it and above all he doesn't make mention of the ts in HD codec H264....

Besides I ask you, in general, what it is (if this exists..) a reader DVD / BluRay that is able of to read and to work the files .ts (. ts HD-H264 and. ts mpeg2-ts)

Thanks and you excuse my language uncertain English...

Your post is very difficult to understand because you used computer translation to write it. The computer translation is very bad.

Basically it seems that he wants to know if the LG BD-390 can play TS files recorded from satellite feeds that use H.264. I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer it.

This is exactly what I wanted to know...

Has anyone found a blu-ray player, which is capable of fulfilling the issues mentioned above?

DVD players would likely NOT be able to read .TS files (this means "Transport stream"), because the DVD format uses VOB files which are a superset of PROGRAM STREAM files, not Transport Stream files. The likelyhood that manufacturers would ADD support for .TS on the deprecated DVD player is very low.

BD players, however, use .TS files as their main format for Blu-ray discs, so they OUGHT to understand the format to begin with. They also have to have some kind of understanding of MPEG2 and h.264 codecs, and of SD and HD framesizes. Therefore, it's a much smaller matter for a player to support .TS files that are SEPARATE raw/un-authored files. You'll need to check around - some might be ok with .ts, some with .mts, some with .m2ts (although they're all basically the same thing under the hood).

If you stil have trouble with standalone player support, you can always use a media player or an HTPC (VLC would certainly be able to play those).

Burn a couple ts files to disc or put on a usb flash drive and go to your local store that sells blu-ray players and see what players will play them.

Thanks for your help!

I was hoping that some could post his or her personal experience about the compatibility of *.ts files with blu-ray players. Some manufacturers argue that their devices support playback of MPEG2 and H264 *.ts files, but in many cases this is not true.

This is what I gonna do.

@vygger
The information about the Hauppauge PVR may or may not help you but posting it may help someone else and also provides some context for my comments.

My Seiki BD660 brand Blu-ray players say that they will play .ts format files but they don't. I figured out why and how to get around it. My .ts and .m2ts files are all captured using a Hauppauge usb pvr model 1212 (1219 in Canada). Files from another source may already be in the proper format but I can only tell you my own experience with the files I have from my device.

Some BD players and even the Hauppauge PVR loosely use the term .ts when they really should more accurately say they play true (BDAV) .m2ts format files

I discovered that the output from the HDPVR whether they have a .m2ts or .ts extension are encoded using 188 bytes packets which is really a .ts file but the Seiki blu-ray player expects 192 byte packet files which is a (BDAV) .m2ts format file. In case someone wonders, this is true even if I use the Playstation3 option in the Arcsoft capture software that came with the device. It changes the file extension name to .m2ts but still outputs a ts 188 byte packet file.

What I do with each captured video is use the freeware program tsMuxerGui to remux the .ts files into .m2ts format file or create an avchd video which are compatible with the Seiki Blu-ray players. Depending on file size this can take from seconds to a minute or two.

and the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) .m2ts file format here

mpeg-2 TS packet analyser (link below) is a program that can be very useful to reveal what type of file you have. After you load the file look in text box labelled "info" it will indicate if the file has 188 byte packets, 192 byte packets or possibly as you read the article in the 1st link you will also note the byte values could also be 204 or 208.

If you plan on making a test video as was suggested and trying it in-store on a BD player you may want to create one of each. A 188 byte packet and a 192 byte packet and see which one or if both play.

I didn't know that. Thanks for bringing this fact to my attention.

I have already analysed my *.ts files, they contain 188 byte packets. The mpeg-2 TS packet analyser seems to be very useful.

Yes, this is a good idea. By the way, tsMuxer is also a great programme (I used it in the past).
