Unable to postprocessing recorded mkvs (HD)

Added by B. J. over 13 years ago

Hi all,

I'ts unable to postprocessing every recorded mkv-file (e.g demux/remux etc). All tools for demuxing mkv fails (Windows and Linux too). Here's what i get if i try a remux using ffmpeg (Linux):

XBMC can play this files couriously. After a few seconds of garbage (artifacts, blocks) at the start these files are handled correct by XBMC. If I try to extract the videopart only (ffmpeg) i get this message for all (!) frames untill to the end:

Command is: ffmpeg -i myRecordedStream.mkv -vcodec copy -f h264 -an output.h264

I've found out, that the process of re-/demuxing SD-recordings from tvheadend are working fine without problems. So this must be an issue with HD-recordings and/or h264. Anywhere else?

The problem is this

  • Matroska does not include a DTS (Decoding Time Stamp) for each frame (or packet)
  • ffmpeg needs a DTS when it remultiplexes a file (for some reason), thus it just makes something up and this does not work for h264 content.
