I am pretty new at streaming video, so please bear with me. :)

I am trying to port an m3u8 stream over from iPhone to Android. Looking in the m3u8 feed, I found some .ts files. From what I can tell, .ts files are, themselves, wrappers that contain the video stream (Elementary Stream).

Is it possible to play a .ts file in Android? (The docs only list 3gp and mp4 as supported formats.)

Is there a way to extract the Elementary Stream and just process the video feed? If that is in 3gp or mp4, I should be ok.

Will Stagefright handle .ts? Is Stagefright even available? I read that there are/were some problems with it.

(As a further caveat, I am not getting much help from my server guys. They are pushing for a Flash player solution, including a proprietary player. They will not provide me with a 3gp or an mp4 feed, but I'm hoping I can find that in the .ts file.)

I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks for your patience with this newbie. :)
