Project-X: a DVB demuxer

Project X gives you a look behind european DVB transmissions and tries its best to handle & repair many stream types and shows what went wrong on reception.

Project-X main features:

  • TS demuxer
  • can remux in TS, VDR, M2P, PVA
  • handles DVB subtitles
  • handles teletext subtitles
  • Simple cut editor à la vdr

Installation

Project X is written in Java and runs fines with Sun or Blackdown Java. (no such luck with Kaffe)

Usage

Cleaning (Error Correction) with ProjectX

ProjectX does its full power error-correction only if you choose demux. (You could also chose "to TS" but ProjectX's error correction is weaker and de-synchronisation occcurs - a different for each film...) The good thing about the audio and the video files that are created by ProjectX is: they really are synchronised.

One could do all these things also in the GUI, but the CLI has got all one needs to demux (and therefore error-correct):

me@comp:/videos/vdr/The_Long_Good_Friday/2006-09-12.20.59.90.99.rec$ java -jar /usr/bin/px/ProjectX.jar -demux 001.vdr 002.vdr -out /home/me/videos2convert/ -name longgoodfriday

Now one can recombine them (producing an error-free MPEG2 of pretty much same length) e.g. by

mplex -f 8 -o longgoodfriday_muxed.mpeg2 longgoodfriday.m2v longgoodfriday.mp2

Or one can re-code either or both of them and then recombine them.
