>does anybody know the best way to convert a mpeg file to a .ts? Yes, run the "testMPEG1or2ProgramToTransportStream" demo application (in the "testProgs" directory). This converts a MPEG Program Stream file (named "in.mpg") to a MPEG Transport Stream file (named "out.ts"). -- Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/
