 understand "but when I record TTV HD progam only by command line,it can't
 play properly".

 You misunderstand i think.
 There are several possible explanations
 A. this file is missing 50% of the data and the software used to store it
 has or had a serious bug
 B. The file is not h264 but a non standard variant of it that looks like
 h264 with half the data missing
 C. something else

 what indication do we have that its not A. ?
 can something display this video without heavy artifacts ?
 has someone dumped the raw ts stream without any complex software in the
 loop?
 does the filesize match the expected duration and bitrate or is it half of
 that ?
