MPEG2 PS/TS/Timecodes

MPEG-2 Program Stream Muxing

ffmpeg -genpts 1 -i ES_Video.m2v -i ES_Audio.mp2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.mpg

Note : In order to mux multiple audio tracks into the same file :
ffmpeg -genpts 1 -i ES_Video.m2v -i ES_Audio1.mp2 -i ES_Audio2.mp2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.mpg -newaudio

Note : In order to remux a PS file with multiple audio tracks :
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.mpg -acodec copy -newaudio

MPEG-2 Program Stream Demuxing

ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vcodec copy -f mpeg2video ES_Video.m2v -acodec copy -f mp2 ES_Audio.mp2

Note : This also works for files containing multiple audio tracks :
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vcodec copy -f mpeg2video ES_Video.m2v -acodec copy -f mp2 ES_Audio1.mp2 -acodec copy -f mp2 ES_Audio2.mp2

MPEG-2 Start Timecode

ffmpeg -i <input_file> -timecode_frame_start <start_timecode> -vcodec mpeg2video -an output.m2v

Note : Start timecode is set as number of frames. For instance, if you want to start at 18:12:36:15, you will have to set -timecode_frame_start to 1638915 ( for 25 fps content ).
