.TS conversion woes

[ikileo]

i know there's another thread regarding this but mines a different case and i didn't wanna hijack his thread.

i downloaded a .ts file. I could watch it with my VLC player. Wanna convert it to mpeg so i can compress it subsequently. i used the program HDTV2MPG from a tutorial, but the the program crashes everytime i load in the .ts file.

anyone can help me out here? thx!!

Is the .ts file HDTV or is it SDTV? If it is HDTV, then try this:

1) Create a .d2v index file using dgIndex.

2) Process the .d2v file in AviSynth

3) Feed .avs file to your favorite encoder.

loadplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEGDecoder.dll")
vNTSC=MPEG2source("c:\video\work\bonjovi.d2v").cropbottom(8)
return v720x480i(vNTSC)

# Converts 1920x1080i to 720x480i anamorphic
function v720x480i(v)
{
	# deinterlace the video
	v=bob(v)

	# resize and reinterlace
	v=v.BilinearResize(720,480)
	#v=v.SeparateFields.SelectEvery(4,0,3)# BFF
	v=v.SeparateFields.SelectEvery(4,1,2)# TFF
	v=converttoyuy2(v)# corrects interlace artifacts
	v=weave(v)

	return(v)
}

is there a way to find out whether it's a HDTV .ts or SDTV .ts?

You'll know as soon as you see it in dgIndex. It will be huge. You could also stick a "return vNTSC" before the "return v720x480i(vNTSC)" in the script. Then load it into Virtual Dub to see its resolution.

A TS file is a multiplexed stream that can contain many video, audio and data streams. First step is to figure out what is in the TS stream and separate what you want.

This can be done with programs like HDTV2MPEG2 which will show you what is there and allow you to separate what you want.

If the file crashes your system, try another file. If that crashes your system, suspect a system problem.

2 solutions
1 try mpeg_streamclip
or
or try pvastumento
both progs are abaiable here
with the first one you can convert to a mpeg program stream
with the latter you you first demux the stream and after that you can mux into a mpeg stream

correction
some typo's in my previous message
pvastrumento
mpeg_streamclip
you can download these here on this site

I forgot about that. dgIndex will also let you select your stream. You can also view your .ts file in VLC Player, and check out the different streams.
