Evening All,
I have downloaded a number of files from my PVR as .ts files and have been using MPEG StreamClip to convert them to mpg prior to DVD burning. Problem is, when I play back the mpg using VLC there's no audio (the .ts file is fine). I have done this before with files from the PVR and all was fine. I am loading the ts file into MPEG StreamClip and using the 'Convert to MPEG' option.
There was no indication during the conversion that anything was wrong. Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest anything? I don't see any options in MPEG StreamClip which look pertinent..
Thanks,
Al.

Isn't there a choice in MpegStreamClip to convert to Mpeg with MP2 audio and Mpeg with WAV audio? Try one of those options perhaps
-
The VLC Audio drop down shows two tracks - and when I select track 2, I get the sound.
So, do I need to do something different in MPEG StreamClip when converting to MPG, or can I tell AVsToDVD to use track2 rather than Track 1. Can't see any options that might be useful in this regard..
Thanks,

There are 2 options there, '6018 MP2 Stereo' and '6019 MP2 Mono', which ever I selected I still get an MPG with two audio tracks and I have to manually switch to track 2 in VLC to get any sound. Have also tried the 'Convert to MPEG' and 'Convert to MPEG with MP2 Audio' options with both of these Audio PIDs selected, but it makes no difference.
If AVsToDVD offered me the same choice as VLC then I could choose the correct track before burning, but it doesn't seem to..

AVStoDVD cannot choose the track. It grabs first one only.
You can try with VirtualDubMod:
- load your mpg
- go to 'Streams'/'Stream List'
- disable the audio track you do not want and press OK
- select 'Video'/'Direct Stream Copy'
- save your mpg
Then you can continue with AVStoDVD
Bye
P.S. This VirtualDubMod workflow works for AVIs. I am not sure you can do the same with mpg. If not you can try to re-encode the file as AVI uncompressed (very large) and then feed it into AVStoDVD. -

I'm also surprised that the .ts file that came off the PVR seems to be somehow different to other files I have downloaded from it - is this difference down to the way in which the programs have been originally broadcast?
Thanks,

Here's what I suggest: Take the output from Streamclip, and demux that. The result will likely be a video stream and two audio streams, one of which will be tiny. Remux just the video and audio that you want to preserve; that will eliminate the vestigial null audio track. Then take that remuxed result and do what you will with it.
You may have to rename Streamclip's output .mpg instead of .mpeg first. I love Streamclip, except for that noogie. I wish they would just produce an "ordinary" mpg. But renaming, demuxing and remuxing usually makes things work. -
You already have MPEG2 video and .mp2 audio. It looks pretty low bitrate; instead of re-encoding and losing more quality, try extracting the raw .m2v and .mp2 with tsmuxer, then use a dvd authoring tool (e.g. dvdauthorgui, guifordvdauthor). You can choose to include either or both audio tracks
Should you need to re-encode, Avidemux should be able to accept the .ts natively as well, you can also specify which audio track -

Success!! I was messing around and found an option in MPEG Stream Clip to 'Delete Audio Track', so I selected the mono audio track in the Audio PID drop down, deleted it and then converted to MPEG. Burnt quit ehappily to DVD.
Thanks for all your help guys,
Al.
