So you're an early adopter
The tools may take a few months but I bet you'll be able to get the meat outta those files into a usefull format soon!
lookThis from Microsoft's MCE FAQ page.
Q. What file format does Media Center record in?
A. Media Center uses a new file format called DVR-MS. DVR-MS is an MPEG-2
file that includes metadata about the recorded program to be stored.
Q. Can the file format used by Media Center be changed? Can I edit recorded
TV files?
A. No, Media Center supports only the DVR-MS file format for recording TV.
It's not currently possible to edit DVR-MS files (the format used for
recorded TV files). However, some third-party software manufacturers have
applications that support the conversion of DVR-MS files into other formats.
Q. Can the files generated by Media Center be converted to another video
format?
A. At this time, there is no way to convert DVR-MS files to another format.
Microsoft is currently working with third-party software manufacturers to
add support for DVR-MS files to their products.
Q. Can I edit recorded TV files?
A. It isn't possible at this time to edit DVR-MS files (the format used for
recorded TV files). Microsoft is currently working with third-party software
manufacturers to add support for DVR-MS files to their products.
Q. Does Windows Movie Maker support the Media Center file format?
A. Windows Movie Maker does not support DVR-MS files at this time. -
