Won't play MPEG2-TS video from Android device

[dbrant]

Hi all,
I'm developing some Android applications that record (and will also stream) video from the device. I've configured the Android media recorder to output the video with a MPEG2-TS container.

However, the video that is created doesn't seem to be playable in VLC. The video does in fact play correctly in Media Player Classic, but not in any other player, including VLC. I would like it to play correctly in VLC, because eventually I want to stream the content to VLC using the same container format.

What could be going on?

Here's a link to download a sample video: http://dmitrybrant.com/files/video.ts

You mean the encoder on the Android (device) side isn't doing something properly?

Yes.
