opening HD ts file brings "Cannot find a demuxer for"

[tpab7]

Hi,

I try to cut a HD ts file, which I recorded with a Kathrein UFS 922 receiver.
I thought I read somewhere that it is possilbe with Avidemux without reencoding the whole file, so I tried it.

But when I want to open the file in Avidemux (Version avidemux_r8311)
I get the error message "Cannot find a demuxer for FILENAME" and then "Could not open the file".

I thought Avidemux 2.6 can handle hd.ts files, or am I wrong?
Do I need additional software or plugins?

Can anyone give me a hint?
Thank you.

If that is a original mpeg-ts, not modified by anything else, it should open. If not please upload a sample recording (5 seconds or 20 MB) to RapidShare _{<- click} (or similar web service). Here you can find how to Cut TS sample _{<- click}. Developers might wanna a look at it, and see why it does not open. Please state your used OS (operating system) and if it operates in 32/64 bit.

Hi,

the recording is unchanged.
I have uploaded a sample file (first 20MB of the recording) see the following link:

www.baumann-andre.de/sample_for_avidemux.ts

My operating system is Windows 7 it operates in 64 bit.

Thank you

What does that mean?

for info:
all my Hd.ts files are playable with vlc under Win7 and ffplay under Linux CentOS 6.

What does that mean?

It'a a quick look on the problem provided for the developer(s) of Avidemux.

I wish a Happy New Year to all!

Are there any new information to this problem available?
Thank you.

I had this problem once with the .zip. Have you tried to (re)install with an .exe file? Problem was, that the libvacodec didn't work properly for some (unknown) reason. After a reinstall it worked fine out of the box.

I just downloaded from http://avidemux.org/nightly/win32/
avidemux_r8349_devel_win32.7z and avidemux_r8349_win32.7z
and from http://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux-mswin/avidemux_2.6_r8371_win32.exe

But I receive the same message "Cannot find a demuxer for"

What avidemux version do you use, and could you try to open the testfile that I uploaded?

Thank you.

Plays in VLC as it is. Avidemux is not opening it here either (Ubuntu). Nor does linux recognizes this as mpeg-ts stream. Normal mpeg.ts without .ts extension is recognized as mpeg-ts in ubuntu 12.04.1. Now it shows up as unknown.

Developers can perhaps have a solution for this, time permitting?

I use 2.6.0 and it didn't work for me either, i got the same error message here on Win7 x64 SP1. VLC does play it fine for me, too. I did some cutting on ARD HD recordings using Avidemux earlier, so it's quiet strange, that this particular file doesn't seem to work.

I tried the following workaround for the sample_for_avidemux.ts file:

ffmpeg.exe -i sample_for_avidemux.ts -map 0:2 -map 0:3 -map 0:4 -map 0:5 -map 0:6 -map 0:7  -scodec copy -vcodec copy
-acodec copy sample_for_avidemux_processed.ts

I had to ignore these 2 streams:
    Stream #0:0[0x816]: Unknown: none ([5][0][0][0] / 0x0005)
    Stream #0:1[0x87b]: Unknown: none ([11][0][0][0] / 0x000B)

the other streams are ok:
    Stream #0:2[0x177a]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p, 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 50 fps, 50 tbr, 90k tbn, 100 tbc
    Stream #0:3[0x1784](deu): Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 256 kb/s
    Stream #0:4[0x1785](mis): Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 256 kb/s
    Stream #0:5[0x1786](deu): Audio: ac3 ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 448 kb/s
    Stream #0:6[0x178e](ger): Subtitle: dvb_teletext ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006) (clean effects)
    Stream #0:7[0x1fff]: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 50 fps, 50 tbr, 90k tbn, 100 tbc


Now the file sample_for_avidemux_processed.ts opens fine in avidemux!

I get a similar error message "Cannot find a demuxer for" for a 1920x1080 jpeg file series.

I have tried it with Fedora 17 64-bit and Fedora 18 32-bit. Both use the latest 2.6.1 version
from rpmfusion.

Same proplem happens both with GUI and CLI version of Avidemux.

Attached is some debugging info from

Edit:
With *.png images there is no problem.
