NAME

       es2ts - convert ES to TS

SYNOPSIS

       es2ts [switches] <infile> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

              TS tools version 1.11, es2ts built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46

              Convert  an  elementary  video  stream  to  H.222 transport stream.  Supports input
              streams conforming to MPEG-2 (H.262), MPEG-4/AVC (H.264)  and  AVS.  Also  supports
              MPEG-1 input streams, insofar as MPEG-2 is backwards compatible with MPEG-1.

              Note  that  this  program  works  by  reading  and  packaging the elementary stream
              packages directly - it does not parse them as H.262 or H.264 data.

   Files:
       <infile>
              is a file containing the Elementary Stream data (but see -stdin below)

       <outfile>
              is an H.222 Transport Stream file (but see -stdout and -host below)

   Switches:
       -pid <pid>
              <pid> is the video PID to use for the data.  Use '-pid 0x<pid>' to  specify  a  hex
              value.  Defaults to 0x68.

       -pmt <pid>
              <pid>  is the PMT PID to use.  Use '-pmt 0x<pid>' to specify a hex value.  Defaults
              to 0x66

       -verbose, -v
              Output summary information about each ES packet as it is read

       -quiet, -q
              Only output error messages

       -stdin Take input from <stdin>, instead of a named file

       -stdout
              Write output to <stdout>, instead of a named file Forces -quiet.

       -host <host>, -host <host>:<port>
              Writes output (over TCP/IP) to the named <host>, instead of to  a  named  file.  If
              <port> is not specified, it defaults to 88.

       -max <n>, -m <n>
              Maximum number of ES data units to read

   Stream type:
              When  the TS data is being output, it is flagged to indicate whether it conforms to
              H.262, H.264 or AVS. It  is  important  to  get  this  right,  as  it  will  affect
              interpretation of the TS data.

              If  input  is  from  a file, then the program will look at the start of the file to
              determine if the stream is H.264, H.262 or AVS. This process may occasionally  come
              to  the  wrong conclusion, in which case the user can override the choice using the
              following switches.

              If input is from standard input (via -stdin), then  it  is  not  possible  for  the
              program to make its own decision on the input stream type.  Instead, it defaults to
              H.262, and relies on the user indicating if this is wrong.

       -h264, -avc
              Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-4/AVC.

       -h262  Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-2.

       -avs   Force the program to treat the input as AVS.
