Program Stream (PS) is typically used to store data on DVDs. + +The tools are focused 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)
