 It's better to use mkvmerge (or ffmpeg etc for mpeg2) to remultiplex
 properly. You still don't have to transcode the streams so it doesn't
 take much longer. Players can't tell how long (in terms of time) TS
 files are, or how any point in the file corresponds to time for seeking
 etc.

Also, mkvmerge removes NALUs from h264 if there are any, on the fly with
no noticeable overhead.

This is all true. Beside that there is no need to extract audio before 
using handbrake, there is even no need to use mkvmerge if you don't 
pretend on mkv.
I had used an after recording script that just checked with avprobe, 
whether the video codec is mpeg2video, or h264. If it was mpeg2video I 
simply renamed the file to
.mpeg, and for h264 to .mp4. Every programs known by me played this 
files without any problems. No need for mkv.


To add some ts files to one use cat:  cat 1.tx 2.ts new.ts

[vdr] converting ts to mkv

2014-05-25 Thread jacek burghardt
I had recording setup last night and now I have 111 ts files. I guess heavy
rain  may caused so many ts files. is there a script that would merge them
into one ts and convert them into mkv ? How I can setup after recording
rules to convert recordings ?

Why do you want to do this? You will get a movie with 110 breaks that
last some seconds in it. Throw it away.

I had delete the movie files that had been broken up so badly, but I had
few recordings that have two files in them. So is it better to convert each
ts to mkv and merge the mkv ? I set my max recording option tp 30GB.
I had found an issue with my vdr it crashes when recording tv. i

Thanks, most of the scripts I was looking at are using ffmpeg to extract
audio and then handbrake to convert them.
