PVR and ts editing

[pdavit]

Dear friends,

i recently bought a DVB-T MPEG4 decoder that also doubles as a PVR.

It records in .ts format.

I was wandering if there is a free tool that I could edit those .ts media files and cut out commercials.

Thank you in advance for any replies...

if it's a mpeg2 in the ts you can try project x you can cut (edit) comms demux to (ES) or remux. tell me if you need help with it.

Try TSSniper . Maybe that will do the job.

AVIDEMUX will do what you want. Open your .ts file, mark the start of the commercial break with the 'A' & the end of the commercial break with the 'B', then go 'edit-cut'. Repeat for each segment you with to remove, set your preferred output format/container then 'file-save-save video'.

You can leave audio & video set to 'copy' (which is the quickest option) or you can take the opportunity to export to a smaller filesize format such as .avi by setting video to MPEG-4 ASP (xvid), audio to AC3, MP3 etc. & container to AVI.

The way I do it now is to convert .ts to .avi first using MCE Buddy, use AVIDEMUX to cut the commercials, leave audio & video set to 'copy' and re-save the file as an .avi. Perfect lip-sync & much smaller file size.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all very much for the replies. I will give a quick trial on all three tools proposed here and pick the one I find more flexible and reliable. Thanks once more for all the support.
