[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] recognize .mts as MPEG Transport Stream (encoding)

[jb]

Hi.

Currently, many consumer camcorder produce mpegts files with the .mts 
extension. FFmpeg does not recognize this extension when encoding.

For example if you want to extract the first 30 seconds of a clip:

ffmpeg -i 0001.mts -acodec copy -vcodec copy -t 00:00:30 result.mts

fails with:

[NULL @ 0x8fb2f80] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'result.mts'

We need to explicitly add the format with -f mpegts. The patch below fixes the 
problem.

Regards

jb
