MPEG-2 transport streams are frequently carried as network traffic these days typically as UDP or RTP multicast packets.
We are quite often sent captures generated by Wireshark as PCAP or PcapNg files which contain all network packets, not just the MPEG-2 transport stream packets.
This means using Wireshark to follow a UDP stream and export it as an transport stream file, but this can take a very long time for large captures and is even more time consuming should the capture include multiple transport streams.
So in TSReader Pro 2.8.55a, we're including a new feature called
PCAPtoTS which will read a PCAP or PcapNg file and extract any multicast (or optionally unicast) transport streams it finds in UDP, RTP or an RTP extension format such as Harmonic's HRTP.
Our intent is to eventually turn this into a Windows extension so you can right click a capture file and ask for streams to be extracted, but debugging Windows extensions is very time consuming, so we're asking our Pro customers to get this latest version from our
support site and try the command-line version out.
