How do I convert .ts files to MPEG2?

Postby jonnyukbravo » 02 Jan 2010 23:25

I have a digital PVR which records TV programmes in .ts. I would like to save some and burn them to DVD for long-term storage. I have stored the .ts file on a memory stick but cannot figure how to convert the file into a more useable format. Can anybody run through how to do this please? I have a G4 powerbook with superdrive.

Have you tried the conversion wizard to see if it will do what you need to do?
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

I use this method:http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=149827. Just stop after step (2) and you'll have your MPEG2 file.

Its important to use Projext X to 'demux' the .ts file first. ProjectX fixes any synchronization problems that may have happened while the .ts was being broadcast.
