Converting .ts/avc HDTV files to .avi

[Kull]

Hi I have some files from my satellite tuner (.ts/avc 1920x1080i) that I want to convert to
avi or something else that can play on most video players. I want to keep the quality of the files as close to the original as possible.
I have processed the files with cypheros tsdoctor, and the files now play fine in VLC media player.

I am also able to load the files into Super and process them there.
My questions are:
Is it possible to just move the video stream into another container format without recompression?
I have tried using "stream copy" in super, but it doesnt work no matter what settings I try.

I have successfully managed to convert the files to .avi in super by using "no change" in the "video scale size" setting, and using the same
frame/sec as the original. But in the "Bitrate kbps" setting, it is only possible to select 9600kbps. There is a setting of 29040 kbps, but nothing between 9792 and 29040, and whenever I select anything higher than 9600 the slider automatically falls back to 9600.

The files from my receiver are usually between 10 and 20 Mbps, so how can I select a bitrate higher than 9600?
Any other program I can use?

Use staxrip instead.

Thanks, I will try that.
