It was a cinch getting GBPVR to record using my new HD PVR; this program has really come a long way for user friendliness.
Here's my issue: What I'm used to doing is recording using a PVR-250, editing the output with Videoredo, and encoding with Autogk. This system works wonderfully. Now I'm faced with the .ts file made by the HD PVR, and I want to make a high quality avi (xvid). The pathway that I found worked was somewhat convoluted:
HDPVR -> ts file -> TotalMedia Editor "make disc" function -> tsMuxer (to cut the stream) -> Handbrake (avi, decomb)
This is particularly annoying in light of the fact that the truly awful TotalMedia software only works on my HTPC, not on my main computer (the application crashes when trying to make a disc). Another possibility is to use tspacketeditor to cut the ts stream directly and bypass the Totalmedia nonsense, but I didn't find that software to be very nice.
I know Videoredo is "working on" supporting this, but in the interim, has anyone found a less clunky way to do what I am interested in? I'd appreciate any advice.
