I got some video files in MPEG PS format.
These files would not play in VDR even if put them in directories named after timestamps and name them 00001.ts. The command vdr --genindex fails to create any index file.
However, if I first convert them to MPEG TS format with
ffmpeg -i file.mpg -c copy 00001.ts
then VDR will recognize and play the files (but report at least one error per second).
I was wondering if there is a way to play MPEG PS recordings in VDR, or a FUSE program that would make the recordings appear as something that VDR recognizes. If I understand correctly, the MPEG PES format that VDR originally used (the 001.vdr files) is kind of a subset of the PS format.
If possible, I'd like to avoid any such conversion, at most add some index files for VDR playback.
I found https://github.com/vdr-projects/vdr-plugin-dvd which should be able to deal with the video format (DVD uses MPEG PS), but I suppose it would only work with an actual DVD (if it is compatible with a current VDR version).
