       es2ts — Convert an ES video stream to H.222 TS

SYNOPSIS

       es2ts  [-err  stdout]  [-err  stderr]  [-verbose  |  -v]  [-quiet  |  -q] [-pid pid_no] [-pmt pmt_pid_no]
             [-host host[:port]] [-max max_units | -m max_units] in_file | -stdin out_file | [-stdout]

DESCRIPTION

       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
       in_file
               is a file containing the Elementary Stream data (but see -stdin below)

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

   Switches
       -err stdout
               Write error messages to standard output (the default)

       -err stderr
               Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)

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

       -q, -quiet
               Only output error messages

       -pid pid_no
               pid_no  is  the  video  PID  to  use  for  the  data.  Use '-pid 0x<pid>' to specify a hex value.
               [default = 0x68]

       -pmt pmt_pid_no
               pmt_pid_no is the PMT PID to use.  Use '-pmt 0x<pid>' to specify a hex value.  [default = 0x66]

       -max max_units, -m max_units
               Maximum number of ES data units to read

       -stdin  Input from standard input, instead of a file

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

       -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.

   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.

BUGS

       For the moment, the video input must be H.264 or AVS, and the audio input ADTS, AC-3 ATSC or  MPEG  layer
       2. Also, the audio is assumed to have a constant number of samples per frame.
