Demux TS file

[roglopes]

I have a TS file below with 5 streams (1 video and 4 audio). I want to demux the video stream and only one audio stream. What the best soft I will have to use?

When I use tsRemux choosing only the audio file (see the attached file), the extracted stream is in MPEG Audio format, It is different for the original in TS file, that was AAC.

Tsmuxer. Not tsremux.

[enim]

Baldrick already replied about demuxing.

There is something odd here.

Video
Format : BDAV Format/Info : Blu-ray Video

Audio Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : HE-AAC / LC

This TS is not from BluRay.
When did AAC get divorced with MP4? It looks like MP4 container renamed to TS - A fox under lion skin. or muxed into a wrong container. It would not be a fault of tsRemux looking for lions and not recognizing a fox underneath.

[El Heggunte]

Incorrect. AAC has never been married to MP4 , to begin with.
Especially because it was actually born in the "MPEG-2 World"

[enim]

Incorrect. AAC has never been married to MP4

I have tons of MP4+AAC babies over internet streaming, seen not a single baby MP4+DTS7.1.
May be the all babies without marriage?

[roglopes]

Tsmuxer. Not tsremux.

When I use tsMuxer It returns the message: "Some tracks not recognized. This tracks was ignored."
See the attached file.

When I use tsMuxer It returns the message: "Some tracks not recognized.

tsMuxer did recognize at least the Lion Skin.

just try
rename ts to mp4 and try mp4box to demux.

[roglopes]

just try
rename ts to mp4 and try mp4box to demux.

Renaming the file to .mp4 and using MP4Box, this error occurs:

[enim]

there are too many MP4Box versions floating around, some are buggy, some are too buggy and a few works.
in your case i would rather say TS improperly muxed. As error says IsoMedia file is truncated, I guess screwed up headers.

Try converting your TSfile using some freebies - editors or convertors that offers you Video stream copy and convert only audio stream(s) (selected with stream id) to either DTS or AC3. If you have to... have to convert video stream to try to maintain same as your source: Maximum bit rate : 24.0 Mbps Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 29.970 fps.

[Baldrick]

You can also try mkvtoolnix (mkvmergegui), open the ts, disable the audio tracks, make a new mkv.

This .TS file was generated by a HDTV receiver model ZBT-650n.

Hardware encoded. Oooh!

Bladrick suggestion for Moritz Bunkus - mkvmerge GUI (mmg) looks appealing as it can do more than muxing.
Hopefully you can select Video and selected Audio (AAC) - as is to re-mux into MKV.

mkvmerge --identify-verbose "C:\000\3. Lib.ts", for more information.
mkvextract tracks "C:\000\3. Lib.ts" --raw 1:video.h264 2:audio2.aac 3:audio3.aac 4:audio4.aac
Where, the track IDs must be the same as the ones output by mkvmerge --identify option.

Roglopes, I would like you to post your inputs and feedback once you solve this puzzle.

[gll99]

Tsmuxer. Not tsremux.

When I use tsMuxer It returns the message: "Some tracks not recognized. This tracks was ignored."
See the attached file.

I got that same error in tsMuxer when I had an m2ts file with the extension .ts. After I renamed it to .m2ts tsMuxer handled it fine. That may not be the exact extent of your file but I too believe it's probably as simple as a misidentified extent.

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

make sure input file has no spaces (rename it)

[roglopes]

You can also try mkvtoolnix (mkvmergegui), open the ts, disable the audio tracks, make a new mkv.

I want the audio too !!
The problem is with the audio streams, the video stream the tsMuxer can demux.

[enim]

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

In -map 0:4 option, which audio stream will be the output, 0 or 4?

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

In -map 0:4 option, which audio stream will be the output, 0 or 4?

4th audio stream

0.0 is usually 1st video stream
0.1 is usually 1st audio stream
0.2 is usually 2nd audio stream
.
.

You can use ffmpeg -i input.ext and it will print the stream information for that specific file, according to ffmpeg (other programs might use different numbering schemes for track id or numbers)

Using ffmpeg I can extract the audio, but the It isn't playable. It doesn't have any specification.

What software did you try playing it with ? Try VLC, or SMPlayer

You can also try wrapping it in mp4 container if it's a software playback problem

ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:4 -acodec copy output.mp4

[enim]

thanks poisondeathrey,
I have absolute zero experience with ffmpeg, trying to read ffmpeg documentaion.

reglopes,
Are You able to play sourceVideo.TS file in any media player?
try something like this : ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -formats mkv (or mp4) output.mkv (or output.mp4)

If you can't get ffmpeg to demux it properly (sometimes it doesn't write the proper header information) , try demuxing with eac3to

eac3to input.ts -demux

This will demux all tracks, to get individual tracks you have to use the stream id (it sometimes different than ffmpeg's numbering, it might be 4 or 5 for example , you have to look at the info given by eac3to for the precise track numbering)

eac3to input.ts 4:output.aac

eac3to input.ts 4:output.aac

It works, using eac3to I can extract the audio stream.
The problem now is when I'll create a mkv file, the video was accepted by the audio not.

mkvMerge:

Command line used:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" --output-charset UTF-8 --identify-for-mmg "C:\000\output001 DELAY -613ms.aac"

Output:

Error: File C:\000\output001 DELAY -613ms.aac has unknown type. Please have a look at the supported file types ('mkvmerge --list-types') and contact the author Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org> if your file type is supported but not recognized properly.

[El Heggunte]

Those AACs don't use ADTS, they use LATM, maybe Mr. DeathRay knows how to convert them to ADTS through ffmpeg

[poisondeathray]

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

[enim]

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?

[poisondeathray]

Those AACs don't use ADTS, they use LATM, maybe Mr. DeathRay knows how to convert them to ADTS through ffmpeg

good point, I think it's this ? or the other way ?
