MPEG-2 Demultiplexer Filter (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

This filter demultiplexes MPEG-2 transport and program streams that are delivered to this filter in pull mode. This filter requires an upstream buffering filter in the filter graph because it does not contain an internal buffer and does not support push mode. For more information, see the Buffering Stream Filter.

The following table shows the MPEG-2 demultiplexer filter properties.

Remarks

To output audio and video elementary streams, the MPEG-2 demultiplexer must receive the Program Clock Reference (PCR) or System Clock Reference (SCR) values from the incoming Transport stream (for PCR) or Program stream (for SCR). On the input side, this means that a transport stream must contain the Program Access Table (PAT) and Program Mapping Table (PMT) tables that define the Program ID (PID) for the PCR stream; program streams must contain at least one pack header.

The term MPEG-2 refers to the codec and the container format interchangeably. The following table shows the containers and the media formats supported by the MPEG-2 demultiplexer filter.

Container Video/Audio Codecs

MPEG-2-Transport-Stream

MPEG-2/AC-3

MPEG-2/MPEG1 layers 1 and 2

MPEG-4 Part 10/ AC3

MPEG-4 Part 10/MPEG

MPEG-4 Part 10/AAC
