I don't think it's an actual Transport Stream file. AFAIK, the 'Type
of file:' field in Properties of a file just echoes the *extension*, not
the *content*.
For example, if I rename an actual MP4 file to .ts, Properties says
"Type of file: TS file (.ts)", i.e. matching the extesion, not the
actual content. The thumbnail in File Explorer changes (from showing the
picture) to an Media Player icon. And when open the file, it plays just
fine in Media Player.
So I don't understand why Daniel's vid000.mp4 file would say "Type of
file: TS file (.ts)" in Properties.
Of course I *hope* I'm wrong and that a rename to .ts will solve
Daniel's problem.
