View the contents of mpeg2ts file created using Android media framework

[Hema A]

Hi All,

I have extended the MediaRecorder class to support reading from a raw video file. I am using the MediaRecorder class to create the output as Mpeg2TS file with H264 encoding.

recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.MYSOURCE); //Extended media source - my implementation
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.OUTPUT_FORMAT_MPEG2TS);
recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264);
recorder.setOutputFile("/mnt/sdcard/output.ts");

I could get the output file "output.ts". But i could not play it on any of the available players like VLC player. I could not also play it from Gallery application on the same emulator where its recorded.

Can anybody provide suggestions as to how i can view the contents of the ts file?

Please note when i had done the same specifying output format as MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP. I could play the output file in 3gp format using VLC player.

Thanks,
Hema

Hi,

I believe you would have already tried disabling High Quality Audio
Resampling as mentioned in

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_ts_files.cfm

if that is the case, you could try mpeg2 analyzer's like

and

to see if the stream has any issue
