Ts 2 Dvd

chuckles said:
Well my experience with Nero Express 3 is that it did not merge the .ts files and I could not find out how to isolate the English soundtrack. Apart from that it seemed to take hours for just one DVD.

Using Nero:

1) When you "Add video files", in the file-selection window, you can select multiple .ts files, so you don't need to do previously the merge operation

2) The audio-track is a bit hidden : in "Edit movie", selecting the clip property (the check just after the scissors in the icon-bar) you can choose the primary audio track

3) yes, the time is long, but I prefer to make a dvd in a single, unattended, step instead to use interactively several tools.

Obviously everyone has his preferred tools, and it's a good thing to have so many choices to do one job.

Have a nice day!

I found that nero ex wouldnt burn the ts files to disc too.

Why not? the Nero output can be to dvd, but also on hard-disk as "image recorder" or you can write to an harddisk folder.

Bye!
 
Just reading the thread about having to join up vid files, i've just recorded for the first time as a tester a small file of 113meg on my DB and found that i could transfer this ts file as one file to PC and burn it to DVD and play it on my DVD player no probs, i don't understand why this works when there's all this talk about joining files, is there a maximum segment file size before files are seperated, not quite sure what i'm babbling on about but someone might!

By default, DB segments a recording in 1gbyte chunks (one film is usally 3-4 files).

You can setup db to do bigger files, so you can have one recording = one file , but problems can arise after when you want to transfer these files on your PC (for example Samba don't transfer bigger files).


Joining files is not necessary for several programs which permit to select multiple input files (for example Nero, PVA....), but other programs need to have just only one input file, so people using these programs need to join them before.

:)
 
If you got network with LAN to your computer you could record it streight onto your computer like I do with my 5620....no problems there with large files.

I had tried this but only managed to get the one for dvr-studio....not the pro version.

will keep looking

cheers
 
Get descaler codec from http://www.dscaler.org
And you will be able to play all .ts files generated by your dreambox with all players and video programs.
Notice that you will have to change-rename the files from .ts to .mpg

I test it with descaler 5 and dreambox 500S and it works just fine.

Viron.

What exactly do i need to download from the above site, to get the codec?
Thanks.

hi,

just a quick question. If your ftp a file of about 2 gig, roughly how fast is your transfer rate? I`ve been trying to transfer a ts file to my laptop and it gonna take about 46 hours. What rate should i be expecting from my 7020?


cheers phil

Cant see the transfer rate but should only take about 5 mins 10 max with broadband connection. Make sure your firewall is not trying to block it. Switch it off and try again & close all other programmes down as this will slow down the speed too.
 
alright, here's my experience converting .ts streams to .mpeg

  1. hjsplit.exe to join the .ts files after adding .001 to each as per existing instruction
  2. demux....I've had more joy with ProjectX, a Java-based tool.
  3. ensure your desired audio stream matches filename (pre .) to the video file
  4. mpegschitt the feckers as per instructions
  5. TMPGenc the cut files to your mpeg

Now the Java ProjectX looks daunting when you get to it but to be honest with my .ts files, I've had better luck demuxing with that than the PVA tool.

Opening it from the .jar file brings up a frightening interface but you don't need to do much - there's a + sign in the bottom right to add your streams for video and audio and then there's a button halfway up on the left side to bring up the process box. I've not dug deeper but it seems to work nicely.

Top Kit. :D
 
Surely DVD and its pixellated MPEG2 compression is on the way out? What we should be doing is encoding to H264, even SD stuff.? Standard def MPEG2 TS streams when they are recoded to DVD compliant files -will they lose quality again or do they keep the same bitrate?

Anyhow I have been experimenting with a freeware program called _www.winnydows.com/page.php?2"]XVid4PSP It will take raw TS streams and encode to H264 based MP4 and a range of other formats. Really easy to use pain free way of doing this when it doesn't crash - just don't change any settings.

Have any of you tried converting to MP4 and newer codecs? Which do you think is the best codec to use keeping the quality, the TS streams are so big!

I have a few old multivision recordings as ts files. They are almost worth keeping as a demonstration of how to broadcast great quality high bitrate tv. The french know how to do it. The quality of a lot of uk channels is shocking.
