MPEG2 recording

[metrov]

Have just installed latest NPVR 3.3.8 on windows XP PC with Happaugue WinTV 88x DVB-t tuner and recordings are .ts format. I would like to record in mpeg2 as I did with my gbpvr similar setup using cyberlink mux. I have installed the same cyberlink mux and registered it, but cant find where to specify the BDA MUX in the NPVR setup or config.xml. Could you advise me how to do this please?

Sorry, it's not possible. NextPVR always records to a .ts transport stream file. It's still an MPEG-2 recording. The MPEG-2 specification defines two container formats, Transport Stream (.ts) used for broadcast television, and Program Stream (.mpg) used primarily for DVDs.

You could probably create a PostProcessing.bat file to remux your recordings program stream, but honestly...My advice is just get used to having .ts recordings, since it's the standard for recording digital tv, and what pretty much all TV apps record these days. Back in the early days of digital television, storing recordings in a .mpg files was practical possibility. Now things have moved on, and most countries are using audio/video formats that can't be stored in .mpg files. Like H.264 and HE-AAC etc.

Thanks for quick reply and for clearing up the confusion. That's fine, it works well, I can edit using the .ts recordings and archive as Mpeg2 or make DVDs and also the MVP works too! Much happiness here.
