    Hi guys... just learning about the whole HD section (or at least, 720p)... I wanted to ask you guys - I recorded an episode off of HDTV Over the Air and it got recorded into a MPEG-2 Transport Stream (.tp). I used a program to cut out the commercials and then save it as a .ts. Now, my question to you is that how would I go about converting this .ts into a .mkv with AC3 audio (maintain the 720p high definition) ? I am trying to use AutoMKV 0.80 right now from this site and it is producing some errors - here is what it says:

    [h264 @ 009CD840]using SAR=44/45
    [h264 @ 009CD840]using cpu capabilities MMX MMXEXT SSE SSE2

    Is this all normal to see? Is my computer encoding at a normal speed or is it supposed to go even faster? I am going to let this run over night and see what the final product looks like when I wake up, but I am just wondering if I am doing this all right or if there are any more user friendly or faster ways to go about this (HDTV to MKV). THanks!

    EDIT: I believe this actually belongs in the advanced section =[

    Simpler than you might think. Install haali matroska splitter. In the folder is an app called gdsmux.





    Voila - No Re-encoding at all. Just putting the same package into a new envelope.

    Thanks! But I got another problem ...

    Using gdsmux, it gets up to 29% fairly quickly (17-18X, it goes to about 21% then JUMPS to 29%... takes about 45 seconds to get to 29% from the very beginning) and then its as if it just gives up. Under the 'status' as the Elapsed Time increases, the Remaining Time also increases, and the speed just keeps slowing down once it reaches 29%.... I left it there for about half an hour and it still is @ 29.0%. What could be wrong? I tried to clip out a smaller video, only 1 minute of the total 41 minute and use gdsmux on that and it worked just fine.

    Either you're running out of RAM or your file has errors in it. Run it through mpeg2repair and try again. The RAM part is up to you.

    Ok. Well, I'm currently in the middle of trying AutoMKV (1 hour - commercials = 41ish minutes of HDTV supposedly is taking about 2 hours to encode). When it finishes if it does not come out right I'll try mpeg2repair. Thanks!

    EDIT: AutoMKV works! Easiest approach so far for me to do recorded .tp -> MKV! Perfect audio and video! w00t!
    EDIT # 2: Even though I got AutoMKV to work perfectly, I tried your approach just for fun - I used mpeg2repair and it repaired it - however GDSMux still hangs @ 29.0 %. I know it isn't my RAM. Oh well... still thanks for the help!
