Hello,

I would like to create a multi-program ts and I am evaluating open-caster to achieve the same. Using the tutorial samples, I could generate a 3 program ts file using the firstvideo.ts, secondvideo.ts and thirdvideo.ts. First of all, I am a newbie to dvb world and I am trying to learn the technology. Anyway, I am trying to generate a 2 program ts file from videos taken from youtube. Using ffmpeg, I first convert .mp4 files to ts files.

ffmpeg -i Bugs_Bunny.mp4 -an -vcodec mpeg2video -f mpeg2video -b 5000k -maxrate 5000k -minrate 5000k -bf 2 -bufsize 1835008 bugsbunny.mp2
esvideompeg2pes bugsbunny.mp2 > bugsbunny_video.pes
pesvideo2ts 2064 25 112 5270000 0 bugsbunny_video.pes > bugsbunny_video.ts

ffmpeg -i Bugs_Bunny.mp4 -ac 2 -vn -acodec mp2 -f mp2 -ab 128000 -ar 48000 bugsbunny_audio.mp2
esaudio2pes bugsbunny_audio.mp2 1152 48000 384 0 > bugsbunny_audio.pes
pesaudio2ts 257 1152 48000 384 0 bugsbunny_audio.pes > bugsbunny_audio.ts

ffmpeg -i Tom_Jerry.mp4 -an -vcodec mpeg2video -f mpeg2video -b 5000k -maxrate 5000k -minrate 5000k -bf 2 -bufsize 1835008 tomjerry.mp2
esvideompeg2pes tomjerry.mp2 > tomjerry_video.pes
pesvideo2ts 2064 25 112 5270000 0 tomjerry_video.pes > tomjerry_video.ts

ffmpeg -i Tom_Jerry.mp4 -ac 2 -vn -acodec mp2 -f mp2 -ab 128000 -ar 48000 tomjerry_audio.mp2
esaudio2pes tomjerry_audio.mp2 1152 48000 384 0 > tomjerry_audio.pes
pesaudio2ts 257 1152 48000 384 0 tomjerry_audio.pes > tomjerry_audio.ts

Using mplayer, I could see that ts files play with no errors. Now, the task is to multiplex them to get a 2-program ts. I modified the mptsconfig.py to have only two programs and I was able to multiplex bugsbunny video (and tomjerry) with the provided sample ts file.

tscbrmuxer b:5270000 bugsbunny_video.ts b:188000 bugsbunny_audio.ts b:2300000 secondvideo.ts b:188000 secondaudio.ts b:4000 mptspat.ts b:4000 mptspmt1.ts b:4000 mptspmt2.ts b:4000 mptsnit.ts b:4000 mptssdt.ts > bugsbunny_sample.ts

I could play using mplayer,
mplayer bugsbunny_sample.ts -tsprog 1
mplayer bugsbunny_sample.ts -tsprog 2

However, when I try the same for bugsbunny and tomjerry video, it is not working.
tscbrmuxer b:5270000 bugsbunny_video.ts b:188000 bugsbunny_audio.ts b:5270000 tomjerry_video.ts b:188000 tomjerry_audio.ts b:4000 mptspat.ts b:4000 mptspmt1.ts b:4000 mptspmt2.ts b:4000 mptsnit.ts b:4000 mptssdt.ts > bugsbunny_tomjerry.ts

I think I am not setting the bitrates properly and I don't understand how the bitrates are being set for non-video/non-audio files. Can someone please help me (and explain) in this regard? Sorry, if this question is very basic. Unfortunately, I don't want to spend lot of time in understanding opencaster at this moment.


Thanks a lot,
Krishnan
