TS Files in Adobe Premier

[OneVibe]

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to editing and I tried out about Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere on my friend's computer but I can't seem to use TS files in neither.

I'm looking into buying one because I can only afford one. If I want to use Vegas I'll probably use my friend's pc.

My main question is though is there anyway
1) I can use TS files because when I tried putting them in they couldn't work?

2) If I can't use TS files is there something that can convert the TS files into one of the formats SV or AP uses (whilst keeping the quality of the file?)

I would really appreciate your help and it would be much appreciated

.ts is a container. many different things could be in it. use mediainfo(free) in text mode and copy paste the results here. a link to a sample of your .ts would also be helpful.

This is not an ordinary transport stream ; without a program association table (PAT) or program map table (PMT) most programs will not be able to open it . Set top recorders, cable boxes often record streams like this.

Does it play in something like VLC ? If it does, you should be able to convert it to something else in VLC or ffmpeg

If it doesn't, then if you can upload a small sample someone might be able find a workaround for you

I would demux (de-multiplex) that file into its constituent audio+video stream files and then remux (re-multiplex) those into a standard MPEG2-PS (*.MPG) file.
You might even be able to get away with demuxing only and loading the elementary streams directly into your editor.

Problem would be if even the demuxing app won't read the *.TS file(s) (because of the aforementioned missing PAT/PMT). If so, try: MPEG2Repair, VideoReDo Plus, DGIndex, ProjectX, TSDoctor, TSConverter, TS4NP, to repair the TS first.

It plays in media classic player but not VLC.

This is all new to me. Thanks I'm gonna try it out. How long on average does it take to do such things?

[Cornucopia]

I guess it would greatly depend upon the level of corruption of the video...
