HDTV to DVD conversion can anyone please help?

[CurioCT]

I was recently given some hdtv files .ts files which I can see are very high quality mpeg files in very high resolution on one computer I can open the files and tmpgenc does this judging field order thing and runs out of memory with the full files so I tired a smaller segment and it seems to open ok and convert ok but the sound is not converting even though it appear to open and toolame appears to conver it to wav. This appears to be an AC3 issue.

Thats one computer, on another it wont open the .ts files or rather it will but is doesnt recognise a sound file in the files even with the AC3 FIlter installed at all so I use HDTV2mpeg tool and convert it standard mpeg then try to open that and it converts again but with no sound, AC3 again?

So then I got project X and ripped the ac3 sound out and use goldwave to convert to wav then tried to convert in tmpgenc with the wav as the sound file and the conversion worked but the sound was totally out of sync. I tried many different settings in terms of audio gap correct all to no avail I cannot get a good conversion.

Any ideas anyone?

You wish to re-encode those files?
There are 2 ways:
1- DVD2AVI
2-Virtualdub mpeg 2 with AC3

Frameserve and re-encode them to whatever you wish

ok trying to frameserve have it all set up but now tmpgenc is giving me the error "the error occurred when acm was initialized"

I have tried new fuilters and codecs a gspot says I am all ok but and searches here and found nothing thius is getting a tad tedious now

Can you not request these files in a lower resolution format from the source?

Well, you could park them for a new computer generation or two.

Use NeroVision. It will transcode the .ts file to dvd format and burn it.
