gohan2091 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 When recording live TV in DVBViewer it saves the file as an MPG file which is fine, I can take this file and convert it into anything I want at a later date. However when recording channels broadcasted in HD, the recorded file is saved in .TS format. This .TS format is causing me problems. I can play these files in Windows Media Player Classic but I cannot conver it into AVI, MPEG or any other format like that. I have tried converting the .TS file with the following software... - Windows Movie Maker - ImTOO MPEG Encoder 3 - VLC Media Player - DVD Shrink - TMPGEnc 3 XPress - Nero Vision Express - WinAVI Done of these can do it, so what should I do? Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Moses Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) that's because HD channels don't broadcast in MPEG-2 standard, but MPEG-4 and use the H.264 Standard for video encoding... MPEG-2 is quite old and a very often used standard, for example it's also used on DVDs and so on, so nearly every software which converts videos understands it.... H.264 is fairly new and wasn't used much before HDTV came up... so the majority of tools don't understand it, yet... So, it's not the *.TS Format... the programs should be able to read MPEG-2 recordings that where saved in the TS Format, too... There are some posts in the HDTV area of this board, which talk about that issues.. but after all it's not that smart to capture HD Video and then compress it... it's better to start with the normal Videos...
