[MPlayer-users] Playing .ssf files from Showshifter DVB-T

[Samson Lee]

I have a recording from Showshifter DVB-T, which is in a few separate 
files (blah.ssf, blah.ssf.01, etc). The original stream would be 
mpeg-ts, but i dunno if it is saved as ts or ps. The Showshifter 
converter is very buggy (worse than Windows Media Player :)) so I'm 
having trouble converting it to mpg or avi format.

Well, I tried appending all the files together, and playing it with 
mplayer. Here is the console output of mencoder .. there is video 
(albeit with lots of artifacts) but no audio .. it detects MPEG-ES file 
format - do you know if i can force it to play as an mpeg-ts or ps file?

Playing joined.ssf.
