Even the Lite edition seems to be a very capable and useful tool from my
admittedly limited experience using it for debugging the MASHED TV station.

Hi
Have you seen TSReader (http://www.coolstf.com/tsreader/)? It's a
software tool
that can capture, decode and display MPEG transport streams (as opposed
to
program streams). In terms of coping with specific codecs within the
audio and
video elementary streams I think it will show you the format in use and
let you
use a local codec to play it, rather than analyse them in any further
detail.
It can use some capture hardware, TS stored in files and in theory can
read
captured network traffic, though I had more sucess using dvbsnoop
(http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/)
for the latter. The interface there isnt as nice though!
Others you could look for are pesdecode, tsdecode, mpeg2analyse and
vk_tools for
MPEG. Or if you have money and want something shiney, Tektronix make
things (http://www.tek.com/products/video_test/mpeg_analyzers.html)
- though have never used them.
Cheers

Hi,
I’m looking around for some advice on the best MPEG analyser to think
about
buying – we’re after something which can cope with a variety of formats
(h.264,mpeg2,ac3,aac,mp2/3
audio), can capture transport streams and load pcap dumps (also if
possible cope
with RTP/RTSP streams), manage timing and buffer analysis and offer some
sort of
picture selection (either visual or by timestamp). A long list I know,
and may
not be possible to have something that covers all bases, but would
welcome any
suggestions people may have for either hardware or software solutions.
I did wonder if maybe some of the EBU member organisations may have
developed
some addons to the main contenders out there (Tektronics etc) ??
Cheers,
