Please help. I have .ts files i want to convert. Nothings working.

[IggyPop]

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone out there can help. I've got a bunch of .ts files and i want to convert them so i can burn them to a DVD so i can watch them on my TV. I've tried a bunch of different programs and nothing works. Nero 10 converts the video but i lose the audio, and every other program has some kind of error that happens. I tried HDTV2DVD and it installs fine but i can't import anything. I've dragged the files in but they don't show up at all. Please if there is anyone out there that can help me I'd be so grateful to them. Thanks

Multiavchd

VideoReDo is good, however it's not free.

You can easily, and losslessly, edit (cut/join) the .ts files and convert to a proper DvD structure afterwards.

Try SUPER

multiavchd is a good suggestion. AVSTODVD is another one to try.

How about providing a MediaInfo log of the file and on that matter define what sort of TS file it is.
ie a mpeg2.ts (transmission file) or a folder VIDEO_TS containing "a bunch of files" . As much information about a file makes it a lot easier for people to provide help.

[PuzZLeR]

Ahh, I was assuming MPEG-2 captures with the TS files, which is commonplace. If the TS files are something else, well, let's hope for a MediaInfo report then.

This is the wrong file. I accidently grabbed the wrong video file. The right one is posted below.

It's .ts file not the Video_TS folder. I've attached the info about the file. I tried multiAVCHD 4.1 but i can't figure out how to use it.

[IggyPop]

Hold on i think i attached the wrong info!

Avi with dv and mp3 audio. No ts files.

Can you play it fine in windows media player?
Have you tried all-in-one dvd converters like avstodvd or dvd flick or convertxtodvd?

[IggyPop]

Sorry i accidentally got the info for one of the files i was messing with. Here is the right info. sorry everyone.

[aedipuss]

it's not HD it's pal SD. you could try avstodvd. or convertxtodvd if you have it, or any other avi to dvd converter.

[IggyPop]

Sorry i posted the wrong info. I use convertxtodvd when i have it as a .avi file but i can't use it for these files now.

[PuzZLeR]

*EDIT: Disregard this post, it was for the wrong text file info.

Those aren't TS files, they're AVI with DV inside. Disregard VideoReDo then.

You need to encode them to a DvD compliant MPEG-2. Then you would need to author a DvD structure (VIDEO_TS folder with .vob, .ifo and .bup files) then burn to disc.

If you want something easy, that does it all-in-one, try FAVC. It's free and will produce what you need to burn onto disc for it to work.

If you need to edit (cut/join) any files beforehand, you can use VirtualDub, but make sure you enable direct stream first to avoid reencoding and losing quality. Video -> Direct stream copy.

[PuzZLeR]

Then again, you can look at my last post again for the DvD structure. I will once more suggest FAVC.

[IggyPop]

Hi i tried FAVC and it doesn't recognize .ts files at all.

[usually_quiet]

AVStoDVD will import .ts files. It is supposed to support AVC.

[netmask56]

Sorry i accidentally got the info for one of the files i was messing with. Here is the right info. sorry everyone.

If this *really* is the correct file then just change the suffix from ts to mpg and see if any of your converter programs will work. ConvertXtoDVD should work TS or MPG.

Otherwise "formally" convert it from ts to mpg using MPEGStreamclip

[PuzZLeR]

Ahh, I see about the TS files. If you still want to use FAVC, you can demux the TS files with tsMuxeR (free), then create an MKV file out of them with MKVMerge (free), then feed those MKVs to FAVC. The conversion from TS -> MKV in this case will be lossless in quality.

This is what I do to get .ts files burnt to DVD. It's a multi-step process but it works:

1).. Open the .ts file with AVIDEMUX, set both audio & video to 'copy', set format to 'avi' then file-save-save video. This will take a minute or two to re-write the file into an AVI container.

2).. Check the .avi file for audio/video sync as it may be out of lip-sync by a little. If it is, use AVIMUX to advance or delay the audio & get it back into sync.

3).. Use FAVC to author a DVD from the .avi file.

Hope this helps !

Phil.
