To close the original question: there is a way to convert the TS file into AVI without recompressing the video stream, the file size is not bigger than the original, and the video can be played via the Windows' DirectShow interface: ffmpeg.exe -i orig.ts -vcodec copy -acodec libmp3lame -ab 32k new.a...

Hello Solazy, Thank you for your reply. There is no need to download and test the TS file. In my tests I figured out that there must be a problem in the ffmpeg muxer (libavformat?). Anyway, I've tried to test the ffmpeg library alone, and downloaded the following cmd line version: libavutil 50. 3. 0...

More thoughts on this AVI size inflation problem. For size comparison, in my previous example, the new TS file is 3.4Mbytes. The converted new AVI is 8Mbytes. When saving out the audio stream with vdub, the wav file is only 220Kbytes. The video without the audio is only 2.6Mbytes. The 220K + 2.6MB =...

Maybe this can help to identify the problem without having to have a TS file at hand. Step 1, take the original avi then convert it into a H264/MP4A TS file: vlc.exe test-orig.av...

I have a quick workaround until I can do this properly with VLC alone. The solution combines the Test 3 and Test 4 experiences. After converting the TS to AVI in Test 3, I call Virtualdub cmd line version to correct the resulted video file. vlc.exe test.ts -vvv -I dummy --sout=#:transcode{acodec=mp3...

I have a TS file with the following codecs: video: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(h264) audio: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) The original TS file is 40 secs and 2.6Mbyte, and plays well in VLC. I'd like to convert this TS into avi format, without too much loss in video and audio quality. Test 1 I use the sout ...
