Sometimes it is useful to capture the video streams we are generating (or someone else is generating) that are present on the network. Using a Dektec is useful here, however we don't always have the opportunity to use an analyser. | Sometimes it is useful to capture the video streams we are generating (or someone else is generating) that are present on the network.

Having created a .pcap file means we have all of the information we need to replay and analyse any captured stream. However before we access the stream we need to extract the Transport Stream from the .pcap file and save it as a .ts. | Having created a .pcap file means we have all of the information we need to replay and analyse any captured stream.
