Hi,
I have a backup of a movie that is "ts" files (recorderd from HDTV). My plan is to create a DVD from it but I never dealt with "ts" files.
What tools do I need to convert it to m2v or mpeg2? If there are no free tolls, I am ready to invest into tools if required as I have HDTV TV box, which can result in regular conversion. Thank you!

Is there any other more reliable way to convert "ts" to DVD or to avi. Since it is HD, the avi should be of a high quality and can be easily converted to DVD.
Thank you! -
I would have thought that you'd have known about DGIndex by now. The output will be M2V and whatever the audio is. Read the docs about PIDs:
DGIndex can open transport streams. Transport streams can contain multiple programs, each of which contains audio and video streams. The Stream menu allows the user to list the programs and to select the desired program to be decoded. The stream menu is disabled if the input stream is not a transport stream. Transport streams periodically send data tables called the PAT/PMT tables that specify the programs and tags (PIDs) for the associated audio and video streams. By setting the PIDs for the desired audio and video streams, you thereby select the desired program. -
HDTV2DVD requires the .Net framework to be installed. The error messages you are getting would suggest that you have not installed it.
You might also check your capture software. Mine has an option to grab either the whole transport stream, or just the mpg content (video and audio) of the channel in question. Saves a lot of time. -
I get error message: "Not a transport stream". What can be done? Thank you!
I don't know. I don't cap and have never worked with a TS in my life. Delete it? Sounds like it's corrupt to me. -
Actually I have four of them (one movie). I can't believe all are corrupted.
Yah, it's getting a headache.... -

I opened one of the four ts files in GSPot and probably there is no need in picture. All I can read there is:
F:\Temp\Romeo&Julet\Romeo.And.Juliet-2.ts
4.29 GB (or 4,399 MB or 4,505,599 KB or 4,613,734,320 bytes)
File Type: Unknown
Mime Type: Unknown
That's it! Nothing more in any section. -
See that cutfile thing I posted above?

Sure, just give me a sec.
What does this "post to a free file hosting site" mean? Cannot I post it here? -
You can only post 2MB. That might not be enough.
Try posting it to http://www.bestsharing.com -
I've made it 30 MB as if done as a whole it is 304 MB while they allow only 125 MB.
Here is the link: http://www.bestsharing.com/files/t4dITP233314/Romeo.And.Juliet-2_CUT.ts.html -
The audio is there, the video is %&*# up. Gimme a few minutes to see if it can be fixed, but don't get your hopes up

OK, I'm still trying to figure out the exact syntax for Mpeg2, but meanwhile, try encoding to Xvid with the following:
http://www.bestsharing.com/files/KTvpt233335/mencode.zip.html
1) Unzip files and place mencoder.zip files into their own folder
2) Give it a single .TS to test with. Rename your input file to ROMEO.TS . It'll look like this:
iconv.dll
intl.dll
mencoder.exe
xvid_encode.bat
Romeo.ts
Double click on xvid_encode.bat to run. It'll do 10-15fps. See if the lipsync is good on the output AVI (Xvid). When done, you'll see Xvid.avi in the folder -
iconv.dll
intl.dll
mencoder.exe
xvid_encode.bat
Romeo.ts
2.txt
XviD.avi
Mpeg2 is a pain to encode with Mencoder, but Mencoder is one of the few apps that can handle h264 TS files as input. I'll try it with Avisynth next, but you might have to wait a day or so in order for me to figure it out with DirectShowSource. There's a new Avisynth plugin to support h264 directly, but it didn't work when I last tested it.
Edit - Okay, I have a preliminary Mpeg2 chain ready to try out, but what are the Mpeg2 dimensions that you're interested in ? 720x480? 1280x720? -
Soopafresh,
Thank you for your time. I need it 720 X 480.
I will try what you advised and will post the result. -
Mpeg2 encoding -
You'll need to have Avisynth installed, plus you must have an h264 codec, like ffdshow or CoreAVC (a free one is included in Quicktime Alternative, but the $9 one is much faster).
Also, Install Haali Media Splitter.
You can verify that your h264 codec is working by double clicking on romeo.mp4 (once it is created by the batch file)
I included your source file for testing. Double click on _encode2mpeg2.bat to test it all out.
You should end up with an M2V file and your original AC3 for muxing into a DVD. Even though the source is 25fps, it has been "pulldowned" to 29.97 since the output is 720x480
* Note - when you end up trying this on a full sized TS file, make sure you have 12GB minimum of free drive space
http://www.mediafire.com/?3zdamzjyzmx
In the next few months, there will be an "AVCsource" plugin for Avisynth and h264, making the process of encoding to Mpeg2 much faster. Until then, this is it...
EDIT: Had to make a minor modification to the main batch file. You still need to download the file at the Mediafire link above, but replace the _encode2mpeg2.bat with this one:
_encode2mpeg2.zip
What I'm not certain about: As the source is 25fps, I have the mpeg encoding using a GOP of 15, but since it is being encoded to 720x480 NTSC and pulldowned 25-29.97, should the GOP be set to 15 or 12 ?
Anyway, try it.
