Improve quality of TS files produced wrt timeline (not quality of recording itself)

Let's start small with 20MB frames 12355471 12461854

Foiled at the first hurdle!

"cannot write to disk arithmetic error"

Seems to be independent of PIDs

Any idea what causes this - and do I need to select specifc PIDs?

I'd want all the pids, but I can't explain this error sorry.

Another option is dd http://www.chrysocome.net/dd but it can be complicated

dd bs=188 skip=12355471 if=inputfile of=outputfile count=104k

I run Videoredo's Quickstream fix on every program I record to fix bad timing/bad frames I get on some recordings which can cause playback problems. This is still the only utility I've found that can properly find and remove errors in a stream without messing up the audio-video sync (if there are other utilities, please post).

I posted about it here:

I call it in my post-processor now and here's a typical entry in the batch file:

Code:

cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "E:\npvr\King of the Hill\King of the Hill_20130420_01340203.ts" "S:\tv\fixed\2013-04-20 0134 13.1 WTVT DT King of the Hill.Little Horrors of Shop.hdtv.mpg" /t1 /q /na

Out of interest, what line do you have in your post-processing bat file for this?

Martin - Thanks - not given up just yet, I was hoping the MPEG 2-TS Packet Analyser author would come back with a quick fix - if that doesn't work soon, I'll try to decipher chrysocome ...!

OK I used dd from chrysocome with

Code:

dd bs=188 skip=12355471 if="Jurassic Park_20130406_21300010.ts" of=JParkoutputfile1.ts count=104k

19MB file available here:

Let me know file 2 Syntax. I'm getting good at this.... :-)

Cheers

Great that matches so you have the syntax now I need to ask for a bigger slice 120MB that I can skip in

Code:

dd bs=188 skip=12355471 if="Jurassic Park_20130406_21300010.ts" of=JParkoutputfile2.ts count=624k

Also added the Skip Points edl file.

Thanks, that gives me something to work with. Without the timing.info that file is totally bad in the NextPVR PC client too. It reports zero duration and seeking will crash NextPVR. Also it is the lowest bitrate I have seen for broadcast 1080i (5Mbs) so it is a nice sample for my toolchest.

I'm getting old though, just a few years ago asking for a 100MB sample would have been unheard of. Thanks again.

[jksmurf]

Good to hear that's useful for you!
Is there any info you need me to send regarding broadcast details in my area?
Is there anything I can do to improve biteate - better tuner or settings ?

[mvallevand]

No nothing what NextPVR sees is what you get, just enjoy knowing that you might be able to watch these HD x264 files on a phone etc without transcoding like most other users.
