1 tstools is a set of cross-platform command line tools for working with MPEG
4 The emphasis is on relatively simple tools which concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and
5 H.262) data packaged according to H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular
6 interest in checking for conformance.
8 Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution of cable and satellite
9 data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used to store data on DVDs.
11 The tools are focused on:
13 * Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
14 * Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream (esdots, psdots)
15 * Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/fields (esreport)
16 * Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter, esreverse, esmerge,
18 * Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors (tsplay)
