I have converted 4 video files to MPEG-TS format. I then combined them like this
ffmpeg -i video1.ts -i video2.ts -i video3.ts -i video4.ts -c copy -map 0 -map 1 -map 2 -map 3 video.ts
Unfortunately instead of creating an MPEG-TS file with 4 programs, each with an audio and a video stream, it has created an MPEG-TS with 1 program, each with 4 video streams and 4 audio streams. So instead of being able to select which program I want to watch using playback software such as VLC player, I've got 4 simultaneously opened VLC player windows (when it started playing it spawned a new window for each stream).
How can I use FFMPEG to create an MPEG-TS file with multiple programs?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

@noemi7 -- are you sure that that's the answer the OP was looking for?

El Heggunte you are right. Noemi7's answer doesn't help me at all.
I think noemi7 is a bot. It recognized a specific set of words I've used like "multiple inputs" and "single output" and automatically posted an answer without reading and understanding all of the post.
Unfortunately, when the only answer you get is a bot with the wrong answer it tends to mean that what you are asking about doing can not be done with the software that you are askng about.
I think I'm gonna send the devs of FFMPEG a nasty email, complaining about how their program lacks the ability to create an MPEG-TS file with multiple programs, and how having a single-program MPEG-TS file with multiple video and audio streams in that one program is the most useless thing you can possibly do with MPEG-TS. -

^ Elecard XMuxer Pro apparently supports multiple programs, but I myself haven't ever tested the feature
The well-known product from Manzanita surely is a full-featured & professional tool, however it's even more expensive, granted -

I have used this with TS as input. It appears to support multi-plexing if I read the spec correctly.
And when you shout off to the developers of ffmpeg to remember to ask for all the money you paid for this back. -
It seems I spoke too soon...
mp42ts (part of GPAC) can create multiple program TS files
Code:mp42ts -prog=01.mp4 -prog=02.mp4 ... -prog=NM.mp4 -dst-file=multiprog.ts
Bad-news: requires MP4 files for inputs :–/ -
I would give a chance to http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-values/15-free-software/33-opencaster
And this is real surprise (but not related to main topic - author please apologize me) - http://www.idealez.com/hides/product-detail/en_US/75595
DVB-T modulator on USB for less than 200$ - this is the moment where everyone can be local broadcaster (AFAIR less than 10mW emitted RF is legally allowed in most democratic countries and 10mW should be sufficient for indoor, home use). -

Unfortunately DVB-T is the European digital TV standard. ATSC is the North American digital TV standard. Is decoding DVB-T an undocumented feature that comes with most ATSC TVs? Or would I need to go and buy a European digital TV to receive this? Is there also an ATSC equivalent to this device, that would broadcast ATSC digital TV from my USB port? I live in the US, so unless most ATSC TVs can decode DVB-T, then this device you linked to would be completely useless for me. I live in the US, not Europe.
Also, the Opencaster software you linked to is useless for me, as it requires Linux. I only have Windows PCs. That software is useless to me, unless someone has compiled a Windows version of it and posted it somewhere. Are you aware of any Windows software that is freeware, and has the same capabilities as Opencaster (in particular the multi-program TS support, and the ATSC standard 20Mbps constant-bitrate output)? -
Sorry, my crystal ball is broken...
You can always use virtual machine on Windows, side to this my crystal ball is broken and i can't predict unspoken wishes or if you prefer "GIGO" .
No, such software is not yet created - Manzanita http://www.manzanitasystems.com/products/ts-mux-tsmm-specs.html is the only one, affordable priced (comparing to other solutions) and verified software that can be run on Windows and it will produce ATSC PSI/SI TS.
Demo version is available - try it then start talking with Manzanita about price.
btw seem that OpenCaster have ATSC support so it is NOT limited to DVB PSI/SI only.
