HDTV .TS to normal widescreen DVD?

[TedAppleberry]

I have a .TS file which is supposedly in HDTV format. My end goal is to burn this down to a DVD to play on my non HD TV? What steps are required to make this happen? I have many tools at my disposal.
Many thanks.

demux it with bbtools demux or ][muxer ..

resize it to dvd standards (avisynth or virtualdubmod w/frame serve) or use main concept or procoder or tmpgemc and resize within ..

encode

author

use same ac3 file ..

a .ts file is a transport stream mpeg2 file .. it MAY have more than 1 stream in the file ...

I ran it through TMPGEMC , resized it and it spat out 2 files. A .WAV and a .MP2.. This is sort of where I am stuck?
Thanks..

Well, what you do next depends on your DVD authoring software. I use DVD authoring software that takes MPV (MPEG-2 video) and AC3 (Dolby Digital audio) files. I extract the AC3 from the transport stream and convert only the video. Then I use the converted video (TS scaled and processed through AVISynth using DVD2AVIT3/MPEG2DEC3.dll and encoded with CinemaCraft) and original AC3 in my DVD authoring software.

This sounds like the ticket, what authoring software allows you to use these two files as the input? Mine most certainly does not.
Thanks!

I use DVD Maestro, but that isn't the only one which will take AC3 as an input. Spruceup will as well. But both of those are not available any longer. There are several others that take AC3 as input. I would guess DVD Lab is your best choice (although I haven't used it myself, so this is only a suggestion).
