[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 786112, member: 82144"] Hi Srikanth The stream already *is* recorded in native format. TS is just a "container" format like MKV - it can contain either MPEG 2 or h.264 video. In the case of the Colossus with an HDMI input: the stream is provided by the STB in digital format (either h.264 or MPEG 2 depending on the channel) so the Colossus doesn't need to do any encoding. It simply passes the stream to TV Server, and TV Server just writes the stream to the HDD. Lossless recording of the native stream. You can't set the recording format with TV Server - as I've already said, we record the stream provided by the Colossus direct to your HDD without modification. Since TV Server does not re-encode, there is also no chance to define the bitrate. You could re-encode with handbrake or similar after the recording is complete if you need to. mm [/QUOTE]
