+TStools (Command line tools for working with MPEG data)
+
+TStools are relatively simple tools which concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and H.262)
+data packaged according to H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular interest in
+checking for conformance.
+
+Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution of cable and satellite
+data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used to store data on DVDs.
+
+The tools are focussed on:
+
+ * Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
+ * Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream (esdots, psdots)
+ * Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/fields (esreport)
+ * Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter, esreverse, esmerge,
+ ts2es)
+ * Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors (tsplay)
