From what I can gather it is being used but failing. (its supposed to be on by default for m2ts). Do you have a parameter to force it?
comment:3 by , 12 years ago
Yes, please search the title of this ticket carefully for the option to force the h264_mp4toannexb bitstream filter.
comment:4 by , 12 years ago
So far, after about 200 links I haven't found anything.
I would think that since it fails without whatever the flag happens to be that needs to be set for all m2ts files, that it should automatically add it for m2ts files and just work. Hence Please consider this a bug (and please provide me with whatever the work around is in the mean time.
Thanks!

Please test the following:
$ ffmpeg -i "input.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c:a:1 copy -c:v copy -c:a:0 copy -f mpegts -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb "output.m2ts"
comment:6 by , 12 years ago
That works... Thanks! But shouldn't it know to do that automatically and not require it?
follow-up: 8 comment:7 by , 12 years ago
I should update this to say that the above command line works ... sometimes.
Other times the resulting video stutters like crazy. Oddly if you then do another of video and audio into mp4 the resulting video plays fine.
Also if you use h264info on the video it will also play fine. It would be nice if ffmpeg could detect whatever is causing this and fix it in the file if necessary.
Suggestions?

Replying to JohnGalt:
Suggestions?
If you have a problem with ffmpeg (the command line application), please do not hesitate to ask for support on the user mailing list, see http://ffmpeg.org/contact.html
If you believe that you found a bug in FFmpeg, please open a ticket on this bug tracker.
In both cases, please do not forget to post your failing command line together with complete, uncut console output and provide an input sample.
Did you try the bitstream filter?
