history

Project history and usage

mpegdemux is a small MPEG-1/MPEG-2 system stream demultiplexer by Hampa Hug. Its documented purpose is to inspect an MPEG system stream and extract elementary streams. The Ubuntu man page describes four modes: scan for streams, list stream contents in text form, demux selected elementary streams, and remux while preserving the system-stream structure except for removed streams.

How it is used

Its package-manager niche is an old-school command-line media utility rather than a full transcoder. Debian classifies it as a command-line utility for converting that works with audio and video, and lists similar packages such as mpgtx, vamps, libmpeg3, VLC, and streamripper. Homebrew carries it as a tiny GPL-licensed formula, useful when someone needs this specific MPEG systems-stream operation instead of a larger multimedia suite.
