Unable to process .ts files for recording on DVD

[Trevor_de_S]

Whether I set the capture MUX to ts-mux or ms-dvr the file is captured and saved as a .ts file.
I set it to convert to mpeg-2 after capture, but no converted file is generated.
With the captured .ts files I can play them in PVRX2 and in VLC but any attempt to load them into NeroVision9, or AVS4 results in the video track being loaded but the audio track is not recognised, a similar problem exists with DivX player and DivX converter and from their support staff I have now established that the problem is with the audio codec being used to capture the audio to the .ts file.
gb-pvr is using the AAC audio codec, while they (and presumably the other programs which are giving me problems) only support AC3 or MP3.
Is it possible to change the setup for gb-pvr to make it use one of these codecs for capture?

The New Zealand DVB-T system uses H.264 video and HE-AAC audio. These formats cant be stored in a .dvr-ms file, so your multiplexer setting is ignored, so it always records these channels to a .ts file. The DVB-S version of freeveiw uses MPEG2 video and MPEG1 Layer II audio, so can use .dvr-ms if you prefer.

Unfortunately this is out of my control - it's just a short coming of these applications. Hopefully future versions of these apps will be updated to support the new HE-AAC audio format. Its likely they will, now that HE-AAC is starting to be adopted by a large number of countries.

You'd really have to talk to TVNZ or Kordia about this. I have no control over the codecs they use.

No - GBPVR just recordings the raw data the broadcaster transmits. It doesnt change the data in any way.
