    This is probably a stupid question but I need some information about the .TS files MP uses to record TV. Can anyone help?

    TransportStream file is like a mkv, its only a container for various video\audio formats.

    How deep do you want to go into this :)

    Thanks Ray... you are always a great source of information !

    Well right now the issue is conversion to dvd using dvdflick.

    Interestingly, it opened the file fine and then got about halfway through the conversion before it choked.

    I wanted firstly to check that the container is compatable with the software, but Im also curious to know a bit more about what they are and a bit about them.

    Any information you'd care to share would be of interest :)

    There are probably errors in the file (due to reception glitches etc) - try running the file through another tool to fix the errors first e.g VideoRedo, PVAStrumento, Womble, ProjectX etc

    thanks tony. very helpful.

    Will have a look at pvastrumento and projectx as they appear to be free. do you run the apps separately (~ts fixer and dvdflick) or use a batch file ?

    Personally I use VideoRedo and Womble so it's an all-in-one process anyway - you'd have to check if it's possible to use the other tools via a command line/batch file.

    Hi,

    I have this forum running:

    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/burning-recorded-tv-dvd-46126/

    I'm also trying to find a good software package to take recordings in "ts" format to DVD. Also got an error in DVDFlick when loading, but carried on and got a video file without sound. The video was not quite as good as the ts file either. My original recordings are braodcast in 1080i (interlaced)

    I also tried changing the recording format to MPEG, but a file without anything in it was created.

    Keen to know where you are at with this including the sucessful software.

    Cheers

    Graham

    I convert all my recordings to Xvid using AviDemux. It opens the TS files just fine, handles multiple audio tracks and does not need any codec to encode the files (so it won't mess you existing codecs). It can output to a variety of formats, not only AVI. Maybe this program can help.

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...

    Yes. I've just this minute found the cause of the problem; though I haven't found the exact line of configuration that caused it.
