Hello Nico, I've been trying this for days and just can't get it working: soyeb@linux:~/dvb/hd> decode_pat city.ts New PAT transport_stream_id : 47976 version_number : 17 | program_number @ [NIT|PMT]_PID | 1 @ 0x42 (66) active : 1 soyeb@linux:~/dvb/hd> soyeb@linux:~/dvb/hd> decode_pmt city.ts 1 66 New active PMT program_number : 1 version_number : 8 PCR_PID : 0x45 (69) | type @ elementary_PID | 0x03 (ISO/IEC 11172 Audio) @ 0x44 (68) | ] 0x0a : "eng" | 0x1b (ISO/IEC 13818-1 reserved) @ 0x45 (69) New active PMT program_number : 1 version_number : 11 PCR_PID : 0x46 (70) | type @ elementary_PID | 0x03 (ISO/IEC 11172 Audio) @ 0x46 (70) | ] 0x0a : "eng" New active PMT program_number : 1 version_number : 12 PCR_PID : 0x47 (71) | type @ elementary_PID | 0x03 (ISO/IEC 11172 Audio) @ 0x46 (70) | ] 0x0a : "eng" | 0x1b (ISO/IEC 13818-1 reserved) @ 0x47 (71) soyeb@linux:~/tmp/dvbstream> ./dvbstream -c 1 -f 522167000 -tm 8 -o 0 66 68 69 > stnhsth dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL.

Can you see what I'm doing wrong? Also I don't have a problem capturing the full TS, I use VLC for that and it works fine. It's just that, because there is more than one channel there, mencoder gets confused and falls over :-( Any suggestions on a workaround? By the way, this all works on another channel that we have that only has one channel in the TS. Thanks, Soyeb _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
