Hello,

is it possible to play TS Files with VLC?
I tried it without succes.

Is there another program which can play TS Files?

Have a nice weekend.

it is possible. Could you paste VLC's debug output so we can try to see why it won't work ?

In my case, nothing will happen.

I drop the TS-file onto VLC, and nothing will happen.

From what source do you get the TS? Sounds like the internal structure is somewhat misaligned, e.g. packetizing or PCR. Take a look in the Debug or Messages window which may give some additional hints on what's wrong.

I've some software to record DVB which generates TS files and it took me a long way for the result to get played on various players. And I'm still not at the finishing line - although VLC feels fine most of the time sometimes audio is not respected or needs a couple of restarts (!) of VLC to be displayed. On a DBox2 some TV station recordings show an effect similiar to what you describe. And and and... So to summerize: the TS may simply not follow the rules of a TS file if generated by software.
