FWIW I find doing such a plain 'copy' pass though ffmpeg works fine for .ts .ts material at times. But here I'm talking about streams captured from DVB-T/T2. Its a great shame that there isn't a decent and clear *tutorial* on how to use ffmpeg for such things so that people can make sense of the vast forest of mysterious options, switches, etc. The help/man is of little use to most people because it only makes sense *after* you've found the right option. Listing options isn't an explanation. Just a reminder for programmers who *already* know what the options listed mean or can do for them and when they are the 'right' ones. Data is not a synonym for information.
