[Live-devel] Problem converting H264 to TS

[Chris Harding]

Hello all,

Tried to convert an h264 stream (available here: http://zvps.co/in.264) to a TS using the test program provided with live555 (testH264VideoToTransportStream).

Everything seems OK, but when I open the .ts in VLC I get quite severe artefacts. If I box up the stream into an MP4 file then I can play with Quicktime, which gives me very noticeable but slightly less severe artefacts.

When creating the MP4, MP4Box gives me the warnings (which may or may not be significant):

[MPEG-2 TS] PID 224 - same PTS 4707874055 for two consecutive PES packets 
[MPEG-2 TS] PID 224 - same DTS 4707874055 for two consecutive PES packets 

I should also add that the source .264 stream has been extracted from a .MOV file (recorded on iPhone), again using MP4Box.

Any suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
