OpenCaster (transport stream modder server) ver 1.0 has been released..
Hi,
I'm Andrea Venturi, i've been working with my colleague Lorenzo Pallara, since 2004, on a free DVB TS server software called JustDvb-It. Then early this year we have been start-upping a company doing the same stuff.
So today, after some more development, we are proud to announce the birth of OpenCaster
<http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-values/15-free-software/33-opencaster>
version 1.0, the first release after Avalpa start up.
OpenCaster is still a free (free as freedom
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html>) software for transport stream generation and management useful for many purposes: carousel server, PSI table generator, datacasting, MPEG2 "poor man" playout system.
OpenCaster of course, grows on top of JustDvb-It
<http://www.cineca.tv/labs/mhplab/JustDVb-It%202.0.html>, the previous free software we were carrying on in Cineca (kudos for them to give us this great opportunity!)
Actually there are three main new features :
* *TS conversion (with right PCR) of ffmpeg
<http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/> encoded PS (PCR stamping in ffmpeg TS is someway broken!)*
* *PCR stamping for Transport Stream bitrate change*
* *hot multplexing of many SPTS in a single MPTS*
Many more smaller ones are well embedded in the software (please read all the description files like *Readme* and *CHANGES*)
We made a manual too, after many requests. It's a 70 page user manual and should be useful to ramp up quickly

To get this stuff, create an account
<http://www.avalpa.com/component/user/?task=register> and then go to the reserved area <http://www.avalpa.com/reserved-area>. Please, *it could take some time* for the registration email to get delivered. Don't worry, it works.
