try handbrake, i use to convert .ts -> .mkv, however i'm sure it supports .ts output. It also has command line options in addition to GUI. if you want a plugin that allows you to automatically run scripts / compress files post recording then you need to use "for the record" plugin

Hi As far as I know it is not possible when MediaPortal is closed. MediaPortal is meant to be always running as HTPC app. Therefore no startup arguments to pass specific file/dvd playback on startup. When already running, it will pick up DVD and ask if you want to play.

Sidenote: SVHS (s-video) is superior to CVBS (composite). For some analogue cards, you can set the quality manually in TV server, which helps a lot on PQ (:thx: misterd).
