DirectShow and Mpeg-2 Transport Stream video files

Question

Greetings,
I'm using C++ DirectShow and also C# DirectShow.Net to try to process and display MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) video files.
These videos do play with VLC. I've been successful with video file types *.avi, *.wmv and *.mpg (type-1) but fail on Mpeg-2 TS.
Does anyone know if DirectShow will process transport stream video files for viewing?

Note: I've tried (unsuccessfully) building a filter graph for TS videos using GraphEdit.

Although I'm comfortable using LibAV and Live555, I need to know ahead if either version of DirectShow(C++) or DirectShow.Net can process an Mpeg-2 Transport Stream video file. Knowing if this can be done is half the battle. If not, I prefer not to waste the time and will use LibAV.
Thanks ahead :)

Your problem is demuxing. Take also a look on the "Live555" code.

Why do you think so? Any link on Live555?

Unfortunately, Microsoft is notoriously picky with the use of media containers/codec. VLC is based in FFMpeg/libav library which is bundled with VCL, so it can play a lot more.
Sorry, I don't know how to make MPEG-2 and TS container work (these things are quite old and even obsolete), however... wait a minute... did you install some more or less wide codec set, something like K-Lite Codec Pack?

If you not able to build filter graph then you not have codecs that required to split the TS files. VLC have it embedded but for DirectShow you need the splitter. Try to download K Lite codecs pack - in there Haali splitter and LAV splitter which allows to handle TS files.
