[Ffmpeg-devel] Help with asf decoder and ATSC dvr-ms

It looks like the asf decoder has been enhanced to work with dvr-ms
files.  I tested it with standard definition files (they are encoded
with mp2 audio and MPEG2 video) and it works great.  However, it doesn't
detect the audio stream correctly for ATSC recordings in dvr-ms files.
The ATSC recordings are AC3 audio and MPEG2 video.  

 

Below is the command line I'm using:

ffmpeg -benchmark -deinterlace -y -i "\\Mediacenter\recorded tv\Ugly
Betty_WPTA-DT_12_10_2006_19_56_08.dvr-ms " -vcodec xvid -s 320x240 -r
29.97 -b 900 -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -f avi test.avi

 

This is the output I get...

If I encode the file without sound the video will encode just fine.
Would anyone be willing to work on this?  I'll be happy to supply any
information you may need (just tell me what you need).  I can also
supply a short ATSC dvr-ms video file if that will help.

 

The background on this (just incase anyone is interested) is...  I'm
working on another open source project called DVRMSToolBox (our forum is
at http://babgvant.com/).  This application is used by Microsoft Media
Center users to manipulate dvr-ms files (most people just use it to
automatically skip commercials in dvr-ms files).  The team decided to
add new functionality where we would convert a dvr-ms file (with
commercials) to an Xvid, MP3 file without commercials.  The goal is to
convert, and cutout the commercials, in one pass.  We would rather not
use Directshow filters if we can avoid it, which lead us to you...  Any
help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
