[QUOTE="AxelSt, post: 126917, member: 16792"] I thought maybe the hint fits here: I have made VERY good experience with the freeware StaxRip (e.g. [url]http://www.planetdvb.net/staxrip[/url] ) which combines lotsa open source tools under a nice gui. For me it is particularly useful for encoding DVB streams into other formats (currently I use thze mp4 container and h264/AAC codecs). The special thing with StaxRip for me is, that it corrects errors in dvb-recordings automatically. For instance, when the weather-conditions are very bad (lightning or heavy rain), my DVB-S sometimes have nearly unrecognizable errors (some video-frames are corrupt). When encoding these files to any other format with tools like VirtualDub or the like, I realized that the accumulation of corrupt video frames may lead to audio/video desync in long files (as the audio frames may not be corrupt). StaxRip includes a test run (like with pvastrumento) which cuts out the audio-frames when the corresponding video-frames are corrupt. You don't see/hear the missing frames in the resulting encoded video, but there is no desync at all. In adition, StaxRip "eats" nearly everything (also vob-files from dvds). StaxRip has replaced all my seperate tools (dvd2avi/virtualDub/vfapiconv/headac3he etc). I can only recomment it. Axel [/QUOTE]
