How can I record to MPEG format? (1 Viewer)

[tony2010]

Whenever I record something, it ends in .ts format.

But I need mpeg format so my Ps3 can play the files.

How I do that please?

Hi.
The .mpg Container isn't streamable during recording so if MP uses this it will not be possible to watch a video during recording. The .ts Container has mpeg2 (on SD TV) Video Streams in it, so it can be easily remuxed to .mpg. Sometimes it works if you simply rename the files to .mpg, but this is not guaranteed.
A program to do this de- (re) muxing (it takes not longer than to copy the file) is ProjectX. There you can create .m2p witch is compatible to .mpg so you can really rename it if PS3 doesn't recognise those .m2p. With ProjectX the stream will be corrected as DVB streams always have lots of errors in. And you can do cutting (remove ads) during remuxing so the filesize will decrease...

Ok thanks.

BTW, how can I MINIMIZE Mediaportal, so I can record a TV show and still work on my Deskstop?

It's not necessary to run MP Client during recording. Recording is done by TV Server with always run invisible in background. But if you want to have MP running, so you can minimize it like any other Windows program.
