[vlc] Re: File type from DVD

[jhhcr at earthlink.net]

I am actually looking for a way to capture. ts through firewire ports  
for streaming under MacOSX
Here is my earlier post:
Any idea how to get HDTV streams onto a Mac harddrive for vlc?
Firewire ports on HDTV receivers or D-VHS recorders output MPEG2  
transport streams.
On a PC you can record and view them under XP.
e.g.: http://www.webtc.com/DVHS/default.htm
You may want to try this:

This program converts HDTV MPEG2 tansport stream files to standard  
MPEG2 video
files playable (mostly) by media player, many software DVD player  
programs, and
readable by video converter programs like FlaskMPEG and Vidomi.

ATSC MPEG2 transport stream files are the raw data sent to your Digital  
television
from the broadcaster, and contain multiple mpeg video and audio streams  
which can
be tuned by your digital tuner.  These streams differ from standard  
MPEG2 files in
that they encapsulate the standard MPEG2 stream data in small 188 byte  
packets that
are easy to transmit and decode.

HDTVtoMPEG2 simply processes the .TS transport stream files, extracting  
the data
from each of these 188 byte packets, and reconstructing a standard  
MPEG2 file from
them.
