I have the same problem (input.ts is 2.1GB):

#dvb-mplex -t MPEG2 -i TS_STREAM -p 2312 -q 2311 -o output.mpg input.ts
Reading from input.ts
Output File is: output.mpg
Setting up for MPEG2 mux

Opening tmp_as.mp2 for audio demux
Opening tmp_vs.m2v for video demux
TS demux with apid: 2312  vpid: 2311
Videostream: ASPECT: 4:3  Size = 544x576  FRate: 25 fps  BRate: 3.15
Mbit/s
vpts : 82644.598556s
Audiostream: Layer: 2  BRate: 192 kb/s  Freq: 48.0 kHz
apts : 82644.757478s

 - then it hangs here.

Files created so far are:

5860251 Nov 28 19:00 tmp_as.mp2
101950737 Nov 28 19:01 tmp_vs.m2v
andy@angel:~/streams$ date
Thu Nov 28 19:26:14 GMT 2002

So nothing has been written for a good 25 minutes.  The MUX'd video and
audio should be 180MB, but its "stuck".  "ts2ps" also has problems with
the file:

108328434 Nov 28 14:35 output.ps

Which looks about the same size as a mux'd mplex stream.

Is there some common problem causing mine and Chris' streams to be cut
short?

Andy.
