TS or MPG recording - Which is best? (1 Viewer)

[TheMadHouse]

The two recording formats available
Transport Stream (which I assume is the native off-air format?)
MPEG

Which is the better, or recommended to use?

Use ts, mpeg will not work for a lot of people (dvb owners mainly) and ends up with 0 bytes recordings, have not a clue why, but something is getting stripped out of the file that should not be.

Thanks.

Is there any way of watching TS recordings outside of MP?

WMP11 or any other player will work with ts files, even Windows Movie Maker works fine here.

I'm in Oz and I have issues recording HD in MPG format but not in TS format (sometimes I get no recording at all, other times I get picture but no sound).

SD channels record correctly in either format.

- I stick with recording in TS format.

Both formats work fine here, I use MPEG however as I couldn't seem to fast fwd / rewind on TS files.

I am loosing the audio when cutting commercials out of recorded TV with the ts format..
Tried HDTVtoMPEG2 to convert the ts files to mpeg but have bad sync problems..
Tried changing .ts to .mpeg and cutting commercials with MP video editor and no audio..
The .ts files play fine but it sure would be nice to be able to cut the commercials put of recorded TV..
