Hello,
This kind of question was asked before on here a few years ago but didn't get solved so I was hoping to see if anyone else has any new ideas.
I have recordings I made from a Xoro 9000 DVR about 10 years ago.
A movie recording made from this box is not one file, instead it is split in to several 1GB .ts files and for each 000.ts there is a matching 000.dvr and an extra info(x).dvr also.
Like this:
The .ts files play fine in vlc but I would like to join them together, preferably without loosing quality.Code:000.dvr 000.ts 001.dvr 001.ts 002.dvr 002.ts 003.dvr 003.ts info3.dvr
I tried using the kdenlive video editor but there is a brief audio/video glitch at the join.
I also tried ffmpeg. I made a file called 'mylist.txt' with this contents:
Then ran this command:Code:# this is a comment file '000.ts' file '001.ts'
But I get the same type of glitch at the join for a few seconds.Code:ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.ts
Is this something that is just never going to work out and I am wasting my time trying to have a perfect seamless join?
Cheers,
Flex

Ali DVR Export Tool
you should have .dvr only, and the tool creates the .ts -
Thank you. But that does not work. When I try to drag the .dvr files on to the "Ali DVR Export Tool" UI the .dvr files are not recognised.
Same thing if I do File > Open and select the folder containing the .dvr files.
Anyone else have other ideas?

upload 001.dvr, 002.dvr and 003.dvr here

If the files were originally not recorded/splitted seamlessly it can never work of course.
But with a DVR recorder i would expect them to be seamless.
Long ago i also had a DVR/PVR (MPEG2) cable box which recorded in blocks of 1 GB TS files.
The tool i always used then to join/process/repair the files was ProjextX.
Did you already try to join them with a regular "dumb" file joiner and see what that gives?
Same as you would join seamless VOB segments.
Also try/examine with Avidemux possible?Last edited by The_Doman; 24th Sep 2024 at 16:19.

I have added the .dvr files to the attached zip archive.
They are binary files and I don't know what you can do with them unless you have the .ts files also?
@The_Doman
Yes, I have tried combining the .ts files using three ways:
kdenlive
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.ts
cat 000.ts 001.ts > o2.ts
Each time there is a blip when the two files join. It's not major but for me it's a showstopper.
I checked ProjextX, haven't tried it yet but it's over 10yrs old and doesn't seem to support H.264 which my .ts files are.
Any help much appreciated.

OK I see. The .dvr files I knew are audio/video files created by the recorders. Yours are a sort of data/support for the .ts files. Same extensions, different content. Ali DVR Export Tool won't help here.
You can try TSDoctor (https://www.cypheros.de/eng/tsdoc4.html) to see how it reacts to the .ts files ... -
You could also remux the ts to mkv (no re-encode, remux only) and the try to join the mkv's.

Yes, I know the exact problem, it annoys me the same too when video joins are not "perfect".
If the recorder uses a special header (with help of the accompanying .dvr files?) for every captured segment then ProjectX won't help too.
Possible by analyzing and editing the files manually may be it can be done? -
Instead of uploading whole 1GB TS files possible you can split them in smaller (50/100 MB?) segments?
"Dumb" Splitted TS files are usually playable thanks to the extra recovery/resync data included.
Assuming they are real TS files.
Then you could post the last part of 000.ts and the first part of 001.ts for example to see if/how they can be joined "perfectly". -
What about a simple concat with Windows command line COPY:
Code:COPY/B 001.ts+002.ts+003.ts output.ts
-
@jagabo
I tried that COPY/B command from Windows...
Code:COPY/B 000.ts+001.ts output.ts
Although, the result in Windows was better than doing this in Linux which is I think basically the same thing:
Code:ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.ts
@The_Doman
Splitting the .ts files into small sizes and then trying to join just two small .ts files would make things easier, but I fear I could spend hours and hours on that. I don't know enough about video and audio codecs and so on.
@lollo
I haven't tried TSDoctor yet but I doubt it will make any difference. It seems those binary .dvr files are needed to make all the .ts files join together seamlessly. The .dvr files probably contain tracking information and so on to make the join perfect.
I think I need the Xoro HRC 9000 media player to play these files. I suppose there is no chance that player could be available to download from the internet because it is likely proprietary software?!
@ProWo
I tried re-mux'ing the .ts files using MKVToolNix.
Then I used this command in Linux to try to join them...
Code:ffmpeg -i "concat:000.mkv|001.mkv" output.mkv
Code:COPY/B 000.mkv+001.mkv output.mkv
Perhaps you cannot join .mkv files? Or maybe MKVToolNix is no good or I used it the wrong way.
I actually wrote an email to info@xoro.fr but I doubt I will get any response. The Xoro 9000 is from 2011 or older.
