how mpegts works

[alntke]

Hi All,

Can anyone please explain as to how mpeg-ts works. I have gone through the specification doc but didnt understood as to why multiple streams are combined to form one stream.
Also I opened a .ts file using media info tool and for Audio it was showing 2 Audio streams. So which audio stream will be used while playing the content.

Simply put, streams are combined (the industry term is "multiplexed", or "muxed") to keep them together, both for synchronization purposes, and to keep their various sections from getting misplaced/fragmented.
All the major containers multiplex their streams, some more than others.

Which streams are preferred is either a A) player/user choice, or (in the case of DVD/BD authored discs) B) authored VM logic.
