VLC can not read .pva and .mpeg file from ProgDVB

[Albert H.]

VLC can not read .pva (and mpeg file) file from ProgDVB.
It is normal ?

(I see that vcl can read mpeg-transport stream but it doesnt work)
(EDIT : but this file is mpeg-ps )

I am under Windows XP
2 Ghz 1GoRam vlc 8.5

Regards,
me.

[Albert H.]

Nobody has this problem ?

In VideoLan features, it is written :
"MPEG (ES,PS,TS,PVA,MP3) Yes Yes Yes Yes ..."

but the mpeg file produced by progdvb cannot be read.

And Windows Media Player play this file fingers in the nose

[Albert H.]

Pas d'idée ?

Est-ce que c'est censé fonctionner ou pas ?

Without a sample of a file it is rather difficult to know when it comes to the possibilities of MPEG TS, but more often than not it is a PID selection problem. You can start by looking at the audio and or video track information. However, the case of multiple streams the program id may need to be changed.

[Albert H.]

You can found a sample at this url:
-None-

It's a single stream with 1 video track and 1 audio tracck.

Any idea ?

AH.

Hi Albert H.

I have the same Problen with _some_ Stations in Germany.
When I record an 'ARD'-station, i can't view it in VLC, but process with
PVAstrumento+mpeg2schnitt+ifoedit and burn a DVD with nero,
and then watch the DVD on TV,
but i can't watch this DVD (and the intermedia mpg-files) with VLC
there iss only sound and a black video-window.

The transmissions of 'Pro7-Sat1'-group i can watch with VLC.

greetings

Bon...
J'en conclu qu'il y a une erreur dans la documentation officielle qui dit que les fichiers MPEG TS et PS (et PVA) sont bien lisibles.
Apparemment il faudrait plutôt mettre 'partial'


VLC n'est pas le Blender de la vidéo, loin de là.
C'est un peu décevant, mais ça reste un logiciel intéressant (notamment du fait de son rapport fonctionnalité/qualité/prix )


Mais le SAV est vraiment débordé et pas vraiment à l'écoute.
D'après ce que j'ai pu trouvé, le développement de VLC c'est un peu le boxon

si vous croyez que je vais lacher l'affaire

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Si tu ne donnes pas un example d'un fichier qui ne marche pas, on ne peut pas confirmer ou infirmer ce bug.

[Albert H.]

Merci j-b de ta présence,

j'avais bien sûr mis un fichier exemple, mais comme personne ne répondais, j'ai fini par virer le lien.

Re-voilà le lien :
Sample.

PS : ça ne fonctionne pas mieux avec la version 0.9.0

hi,
same problem to me. I have to demultiplex the file with ProjectX. Always the same errors..

After the fix with ProjectX everything is fine. I think that's not a VLC problem...but mplayer or the Windows MediaPlayer has no problems with the original files.

The transmissions of 'Pro7-Sat1'-group i can watch with VLC

same to me. another little sample 'http://petgun.g4.gs/ARTE-September23212843.mpg'

Hi Albert,

I have problems with all Stations of 'ARD' and 'ZDF',
(with the exeption of an old b/w-Western from BR some weeks ago)
and no/less Problems with 'pro7-Sat1'-stations.

i can split(Pvastrumento), cut (mpeg2schnitt), author(ifoedit) and burn a DVD(nero5) ALL stations without any problem, and i can view it on
a DVD-Player too.

cu

[petgun]

i really wonder that the favorite mplayer (use the same codecs?) has no problem with the files...?

[Albert H.]

Yep, you're right petgun, mplayer use the libmpeg2 module to decode mpeg2 file and VLC too !
(But with VLC it doesn't work.)

J'ai trouvé ça dans la doc de mplayer :

7.1.5. Vidéo MPEG-1/2
MPEG-1 et MPEG-2 sont décodés par la librairie multiplateforme libmpeg2 native, dont le code source est inclus dans MPlayer. Nous gérons la vidéo MPEG-1/2 boguée en attrapant le Signal 11 (segmentation fault), et en réinitialisant rapidement le codec, continuant ainsi exactement où l'erreur c'est produite. Cette technique de récupération n'a pas d'influence mesurable sur la vitesse.

I found this in the mplayer documentation :

7.1.4. MPEG-1/2 video
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are decoded by the multiplatform native libmpeg2 library, whose source code is included in MPlayer. We handle buggy MPEG-1/2 video files by catching Signal 11 (segmentation fault), and quickly reinitializing the codec, continuing exactly from where the failure occurred. This recovery technique has no measurable speed penalty.

[Albert H.]

Up.
ça aide ou ça aide pas ?
(voir message en bas de la page 1)

[Albert H.]

J'adore les monologues, mais quand même...

Un oui ou un non peut me suffire
A bientôt.

[petgun]

@Albert H.
please post in english...and please be _patient_. I am sure the time will come, that the developer take a look to our problems with progdvb.

cu,
peter

[The DJ]

if you don't provide a sample, no one can investigate it of course.

[petgun]

there are two samples in this thread http://perso.orange.fr/marolles/progdvb.mpg and http://petgun.g4.gs/ARTE-September23212843.mpg ...here is a new one: ftp.videolan.org/incoming/arte.mpg I hope you can read it...it's invisible for me. The same sample

Thank you,
peter

[asdufisn]

Any news on this problem? All my recordings from ProgDVB are impossible to play properly in VLC. They work fine in Mplayer.
