[MPlayer-users] Analyzing media streams

[Fredrik Johansson]

Ahh, you where fast! :)

Thank you very much for your help so far. midentify was a good tip, I
will look into that. I've tried to reply to all of you in the same
email below. And I will probably be back ;)

Regards,

easy to add how? I have a program that lets me see all the psi's. That
allows me to identify a stream as a DVB stream. But how do I identify
an ATSC stream? Which specfic "prints" does that leave on the mpeg ts?

I want to know if the video is mpeg-1, mpeg-2, h264 or something else.

What I mean by color system is if it's PAL or NTSC. I'm not sure how
ATSC fits into this, is that an "extension" to NTSC? Or should ATSC be
compaired at the same level as DVB?
