TS stream (SD) compress & convert

[c.monty]

Hi!

I've recorded a TS stream with my DVB-S receiver.
Then I've demuxed this TS file with ProjectX and got now these files:
*.m2v
*.ac3
*.mp2

Now my question:
Is it possible to compress these data files further, e.g. using h.264 codec?

At the end I want to have a video file that can be easily played with a media player that supports the used video codec and that takes less disk space.

Can you please help me?

According to MediaInfo, the video file is
MPEG2 with 720x576, 25000 FPS

Is it possible to apply the approach for SD video streams also for HD video streams?

This doesn't look right.

MPEG2 with 720x576

This is not "HD".

720x576/25 looks like a DVD or maybe a digital broadcast.

You can compress the m2v (Mpeg2) to divx/xvid/h.264 to specs your media player will accept. Then remux with the audio.

HD TS broadcast streams are usually MPeg2 in ATSC/DVB but for DVB h.264 is also used in some areas.

Yes, it video source is a digital broadcast recorded with DVB-S.
It's certainly SD and not HD.

Could you tell me a tool to use for compression of video file m2v (MPEG2) to h.264?

Although I don't use it (I stick with MPEG-2), Handbrake is a popular choice for H.264 conversions.
