FFmpeg - Extracting video and audio from transport stream file (.ts)

Question

I wish to extract the audio and video of a certain program in a transport stream file (.ts) by specifying its PID without losing quality and using the same codec in the resulting file (the output file is a MPEG).

Is that even possible with FFmpeg? If so, how can I do it?

So far, I've come to this command:

 ffmpeg -i tsfile.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy -q:v 1 output.mpg

Edit: Note that the file output.mpg is created. The file contains the video but the audio isn't attached (no sound). Also, I am unable to specify the program PID to extract.

Edit 2: Here's the output of ffmpeg -i tsfile.ts

Solution 1

I could get SPTS from MPTS in ffmpeg by extracting required streams and remuxing it. My mpts has 6 streams for three programs (one audio, one video):

ffmpeg -i mpt.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpts program1.ts

Solution 2

try:

ffmpeg -i input.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.ts

Modify map values according to your input.ts programs.

Solution 3

try:

`cat *.ts | ffmpeg  -i pipe: -c:a copy -c:v copy output.mp4`
