TS To MPEG 2 Utility

skycyclepilot · 2010-07-05, 06:49 AM

Is there a simple utility for converting the TS recordings I"m getting from GBPVR with an HVR2250 card - to MPEG 2 without rerendering. I can't seem to fine one...

can't you just do that with ffmpeg? it's already included with GB-PVR.

ffmpeg -i myvideofile.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f dvd myvideofile.mpg

I wasn't aware of that. I'll give it a try. Thanks...

also, I don't use GB-PVR any more, but I think you can convert from TS to MPG from the Video Library, assuming you have a video library path set to your recordings directory.

If you don't mind my asking, what are you using. I'm always looking for new software to play with.

I switched over to NPVR a couple of weeks ago. It's not exactly finished, and has some bugs, but shows a lot of potential.

I tried it last week as well, but for whatever reason, is was so unstable as to be unusable. I'll give it some time and try again. GBPVR is so mature it is going to be hard to match for stability and reliability.

This does not work if the ts stream has errors with timestamps, which is often in my case. ProjecX is much better at the conversion and fixing the errors.

ffmpeg works fine for me even with non-perfect streams...
most broadcast signals have dropouts in them, it's just at a certain point they become too much to make up for..
demuxing and remuxing will generate new timelines, but a bit overkill..
i'd check input signal if you get so many dropouts that timelines get messesd up..

I've tried setting GBPVR, in Config, to automatically convert ts files after they are recorded, and that's also not working. Any ideas?
