No, not really,

However, I instead suggest that you use the 
"testMPEG1or2ProgramToTransportStream" application (distributed in 
the "testProgs" directory) to convert your Program Stream file to a 
Transport Stream file.  You can then stream this (using our RTSP 
server applications) to an Amino STB.
