Demux TS file

[poisondeathray]

maybe there is a workaround using vlc to remux

See this thread and post #10

Because your audio is he-aac, I think you need to include the --aac-is-sbr 1 flag in mkvmerge

You asked how to demux it, not how to put in mkv container, but it's probably easier to do with ffmpeg in 1 step

ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:0 -vcodec copy -map 0:4 -acodec copy output.mkv

You're right, maybe I should have opened another thread, but the problem is that all reasoning has been discussed here would be lost.

but it's probably easier to do with ffmpeg in 1 step

ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:0 -vcodec copy -map 0:4 -acodec copy output.mkv

or he can video stream copy and use proper audio encoder (codec) available like dts or ac3 in ffmpeg and get a valid mkv with proper valid audio stream. something like ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:0 -vcodec copy -map 0:4 -acodec dts (or ac3) [audio encoder parameters] output.mkv

But, OP never said anything about
Are You able to play sourceVideo.TS file in any media player?
Is he able to decode source audio stream successfully?

Yes, I can play the original .TS file on Media Player HC, but my goal was to extract the streams and create a mkv or mp4 to play in other standalone players. From the feedback I've had so far, I'll get this using eac3to and ffmpeg.

For sure, there must be a way out using ffmpeg, mplayer or mencoder which belong to same family, as long as it's been decoded properly by Media Player HC,

Hope you must have solved it already by the time you are reading my reply.
So I am out, seeing a qute bartender again, you can join me too!

Small correction instead of "-absf aac_adts2asc " like poisondeathray mentioned in post #30 you need to use "-absf aac_adtstoasc" if you want to extract latm encoded aac audio as normal aac audio.
