| 1194368 | 2011-04-13 22:26:00 | Hi folks I have a PVR and have been trying to burn a recording to DVD. The folder from the PVR has two files in it - one is a .ts file and the other is a small info.ini file. Nero cannot deal with it in its present form to burn to DVD - it has to be converted to a format that Nero understands. My version of Nero is 8.3.1.2 so it is pretty out of date. The .ts file will play with VLC with video and audio, but any other programme opens it with video only (e.g. Media Player Home Cinema). I have tried various conversions with VLC, but always end up with a video only file. I have tried the Video Converter in DVDFab, but again, it ends up with a lovely .avi conversion without a sound track. What am I missing here? Perhaps I am not choosing the right option for conversion in VLC? Any advice gratefully accepted. Thank you - John |

| 1194373 | 2011-04-14 00:18:00 | And judging but the fact it's not working in a lot of places (VLC doesn't count), I'd guess DVB-T. DVB-S is most likely to work as it's an MPEG2 stream with MPA sound. DVB-T will need converion from H-264 HE-AAC to MEPG2 for dvd authoring, some apps may do this - Windows 7 Movie maker springs to mind.... Or you'll have to convert externally to MPEG2 and then author on DVD. |

| 1194374 | 2011-04-14 00:22:00 | I actually gave up on this a while ago, most tools I tried can't deal with the audio as New Zealand freeview is using a different audio codec than the software expects to find in a .TS file. Older versions of VLC didn't play them either. I have heard some people had success with windows movie maker but never tried it myself. Converting with VLC ? thought it was just a player. I may have to look into that. If you find something that works please let us know :) |

If you find something that works please let us know :) Yes you can convert with VLC, under the convert/streaming options under the file menu . Doesn't work great though . If I want to keep something (or rip ads out etc) i record it on my DVB-S tuner . . . it's just too hard otherwise . There is a VideoRedo version that works with out DVB-T - not sure if it converts though . |

| 1194376 | 2011-04-14 00:44:00 | Is it possible at all to merge all the recorded .ts files into one and burn to DVD? | bk T (215) | ||
