I'm still not convinced the ts contains only one channel.

The sample is about 70MB. I'm sorry for the large file size, but the files are enormous even for a few seconds of recording. If I play the sample with simply "mplayer <filename>" then it plays one channel, but if I try "mplayer -nosound <filename>" then I get another channel and the repeating error: [h264 @ 0x87c3808]MBAFF + spatial direct mode is not implemented There is one possibility, I had to change channels in VLC whilst recording to get the correct channel recorded (VLC always chooses the wrong channel to start with), so could it be a bit of recording from the first channel then the second channel? But if that's the case then why does the first channel only appear when I'm using -nosound? I'm confused. Good luck!
