iso 13818 stream multiplexer
features:
- output is either a transport stream or a program stream
- input streams may be program streams, paketized elementary streams (PES) and transport stream, in any combination
- streams are kept in sync during multiplex, where possible
- normal real time operation obeys stream timing, but untimed operation is available for discfile conversion
- program information and stream compilation may be changed on the fly during operation
- program map table manipulation, descriptor filter/injection
- now includes an additional tool for EN 300468 SI table composition
what this multiplexer does not:
- it does neither check, unpack nor recode elementary streams, it does not even care for what data it shovels: just bytes
- it does not check system performance capacities, so when the cpu cannot do the work, timing faults in the resulting stream may occur, even when running it in untimed mode
installation:
unpacking the tar archive and "make install" will place it in the /usr/local sub hierarchy.
no readme file available, but man pages: iso13818ts(1), iso13818ps(1), repeatts(1), en300468ts(1)
there are additional diagnostic tools included: showts, ts2pes, pes2es. these are provided by third party, so i cannot explain details about them. the latter two are said to produce a nice stream dump when given the option -v. you are invited to write a man page or similar for these. otherwise check the sources for explanations.
for questions, feel free to ask. you may want to ask the experts at the linux-dvb mailing list at http://linuxtv.org, too.
