Hd? .ts?

I'm in trouble. I volunteered to record "The diary of Anne Frank" series on BBC and I did, but now that I come to check the recordings is says that they are HD and the stored files are .ts instead of the .mpg I was expecting.
What is going on? I'm confused yet again :confused:

The type of file you end up with depends the mux that was used for doing the recording. The TS Mux produces .dvr-ms files. The DVR-MS mux produces .dvr-ms files. The Cyberlink and ATI muxes produce .mpg files. See mux setting on the Misc2 tab of the config app.
H.264 channels like BBC-HD are always recorded with the TS Mux (to .ts files).

There are many free converters that will convert the ts to mpeg.
HDTVtoMPEG is one. Paul Custom ASUS Maximus X Hero, 16 GB Memory-ASUS GeForce 1050 Ti, H115i Pro AIO, 850W PS, CM H500P case, Corsair Vengeance RGB Ram, Samsung 970 EVO, HDHomerun Prime & Extend Tuners- running Windows 10 (and other goodies)

Thanks for the replies. I see I've got more learning and some work to do.
One more thing; I can't play these recordings back. I just get a black screen. I guess I need a decoder I don't have. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure VLC Media Player will work.

Quote: Actually I discovered that the video library has a trancode TS to MPEG2 profile that becomes available when you select a .ts file. But that won't work if the file is HD (H264) will it? It might have to be converted to an MKV if it's got a AVC / H264 stream in there.
