Problem converting hdtv to dvd

[blues43]

I have a Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T pci card to watch hdtv on computer. I can capture the HD to hard drive as .tp files. The software includes a convertor program which supposedly converts the files to dvd or mpeg2. However all burning/ authoring software I have tried seems to have problems opening or accepting as valid files.Can anyone help with ideas of how I can put the captered files on to dvd.

´Don't know what type of files and resolution you are referring to but if you have a conversion utility the files that are beeing prepared by it should be 100% compatible. Dvico is not a first rate manuf. so you may have trouble getting some support but I would fire off an email to them if I were you.
Mainconcept MainActor 5.1 has the ability to open and save to all sorts of formats incl. HD. get the demo and check the properties of your files, analyse why there is a problem. That is all I could suggest at this point.

Try DVD2AVI. It's pretty good at opening non-standard MPEG-2 files.

procoder also will open all types of transport streams - you dont need to even convert them first ..

if they are converted to mpeg - main concept and tempgenc will open them ok

You can try a few other converters. I've used this one with good results. They will just convert TS streams to MPEG. They will not make them DVD compatible. If your stream is 1920x1080, you'll still need to resize it to a compatible resolution.

The source files are listed there if you need to recompile the code.
