Video .ts codec [answered]

To my understanding the Transport Stream-format has some kind of overhead bits in every block telling where the block belogs etc., but the followed actual video data is just loosely packaged MPEG-2 already so it should play just fine with any player capable of playing MPEG-videos?

.ts files are part of what you get when you rip a DVD or download a ripped DVD, along with .vob(video object file) files.

Good luck with trying to play either on SFOS, as you already stated, you'd be better off converting the video to some other container variety, probably not MPEG but perhaps MP4 instead (my preferred choice)

I use Format Factory for video file conversion, it generally works very well.......but I grabbed a copy of Format Factory back in 2009, I have no idea if it is still available today and of course, there are probably plenty of other softwares that do the same thing, in many cases, you can do such things online, no need for even having capable software.

It is not video files ripped form a DVD but another local device. In the beginning I used ACE but here I had some issue with big files, the ACE crashed. I found out that I could use avidemux, its takes a bit longer time but it do not crash. Why I have chosen the .ts format I can not give a good reason for!

Further I can inform that it has been possible to play a .ts video with the LLs'player but mostly it is not possible, The video is just colour mosaic but the sound it OK.

I have now tried to play a couple of .ts video with LLs'player that were ripped with the ACE play and here it seems that there is no issue. The issue is maybe the way I rip the video with the avidemux program. I will see what can be the problem.
