Hi,
i recorded video from Star Sat satellite and i want play it in PC. but VLC media player doesn't play. WMP says "Opening media..." and doesn't play (i installed K-Lite Mega codec). Media Player Classic Home Cinema plays well.
recorded files is *.ts ,
Why VLC media player can't play?

Hi everybody,
May I join this topic to share a very similar issue, thank you Saad (who initiated this topic)
A friend of mine records video from satellite, but he can't play them in Vlc (they play fine in MPC home cinema)
Here are descriptive pics :

As shown in Mediainfo, this ".trp" file is in fact a "mpeg-ts" file (maybe same extension as Saad's file ?)
If you rename the file from .trp to .mpg, then :
1) Vlc can't read it
2) MPC home cinema...see by yourself

Thanks to Vlc staff if this can be solved, we all like Vlc !
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all

PS: in case Vlc staff needs a close look at the .trp file (47Mb), here is the download link :

TS demuxer doesn't identify the content

Code: Select all

ts debug: eof ?
main debug: EOF reached
main debug: finished input
ts debug: pid list:
ts debug:   - pid[512] seen
ts debug:   - pid[650] seen
ts debug:   - pid[8191] seen

One option is to demux or remux the file with tool called ProjectX.

IIRC some TRP files have inverted some bytes (4 first bytes of every 47 bytes) so they won't work with most players because of that.

I cannot play .ts either.

MediaInfo gives me this:

You have to remux the file.
