HDPVR m2ts duration

[sk00v]

Hi

I've read a lot on this forum and found some very useful info!

I have a HD PVR and the problem I am having is the m2ts/ts files that I get are sometimes showing up with incorrect durations. For example I have a ~10GB m2ts file which should be a few hours long that I've recorded off my Sky box which is showing up as only 8 seconds long. If I open in VLC I can watch it all the way to the end, but I want to edit it to be able to remove the commercials or any guff at the begining and end of the film.

Every program I've tried to use to edit it, also only shows a duration of 8 seconds.

I can't find anything on how to fix this, anybody able to help me?

Thanks

Tried "remux" it with tsmuxer, open the m2ts, save as new ts or m2ts.

Thanks Baldrick

I have tried this before, but when I open the file in tsmuxer it complains "some tracks not recognised. This tracks was ignored" which is my audio track.

I am just demuxing with ffmeg now to try this. Do you have another suggestion?

Thanks

That's the only option.

The ffmpeg step to demux worked!

Also opening the file in MPEG Streamclip (which detected and repaired the errors) and then saving the file out again worked. I haven't got quicktime pro/alternative installed so couldn't see any video to do any edits.

Now I just need to find the best (free) cutting software. I used the trial of Transport Stream Packet Editor which was good. At least now the ones I do try can see more than 8 seconds of footage

Thanks for your help guys.
