| 654411 | 2008-03-30 22:51:00 | Im`recording a TV program from a digital receiver to an external hard drive.When I connect this hard drive to my computer and try to play the recording,it tells me cannot play a .ts file.I tried it with Windows Media Player and VLC player,nothing works.My system is XP home.What can I do ? | optusone (11671) | ||
| 654412 | 2008-03-30 22:57:00 | Would it need converting to a .mpeg or .avi or something? Most media players won't play transport stream files, although I thought VLC did. What does the recording software your using say about it? Womble (www.womble.com) will convert it, but it's not free. I dunno if a free program like Super would do it. |

| 654413 | 2008-03-30 22:58:00 | You may have to convert it to Mpeg format. See if Super can do it (www.erightsoft.com) Link is on the bottom of the page |

| 654414 | 2008-03-30 23:00:00 | According to This article (www.afterdawn.com) VLC player will play .ts files, - it explains how | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 654415 | 2008-03-30 23:42:00 | Yes I've never had a problem with VLC playing .ts files. But it could be the type of codec that is being used in the .ts file. What are you recording? |

| 654416 | 2008-03-31 00:54:00 | If these are from the dvb-t broadcast currently happening over here, I've had problems with vlc trying to play these files. Not sure whether it's the h.264 bit it doesn't like or the aac audio... I tried recording CSI last night off DVB-T to get a nice 1080i video, but nothing I've got will play it..... |

| 654418 | 2008-04-06 23:17:00 | I´m recording Freeview New Zealand(no high definition) via Digital Receiver (UltraPlus780micro) onto an external hard drive.The user manual for this receiver says:TransportStream=MPEG2 ISO/IEC13818 , ProfileLevel=MPEG2 MP@ML When I connect the external hard drive to my computer(XP home) and try to playback,the small VLC-window comes up and the little cursor in it does move,but no picture builds up.If I go on the "Audio" or "Video" bar,it says "empty". |

| 654419 | 2008-04-07 00:56:00 | You will most likely need to install the h.264 codec from some place. | jermsie (6820) | ||
| 654420 | 2008-04-07 01:34:00 | Install K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.5 FULL - Thats got the h.264 coded bundled with it. (I'm pretty sure). www.free-codecs.com |
