Transport Stream queries cum avi

[ikileo]

Helping my friend out here, he hasn't given me all the details of his prob, but this is what i know so far.

He's trying to convert /compress a file with a *.ts extension to an avi/mpg format to no avail.

I would like to know what's this transport stream format? Some kinda HDTV format? I dun use HDTV so I can't relate to it.

Yes it's most likely a transport stream for a digital TV capture, and it can be either a Standard Definition or High Defintion capture.

It contains an MPEG2 Video stream and Multiple Audio streams, so you need to use a tool such as PVAStrumento to demux the streams. Then you can use any of the usual encoding tools to convert it to whatever format you require.

convert from ts to avi with autogk, dvx
convert to mpg with hdtvtompg, pvastrumento, projectx
