Okay, so you've got the .tsp (transport stream) DVB files off of your Satellite DVR ... (see here for SatelliteDVR to Windows PC Hard Drive. . )
You can either:
1. Watch it directly on your PC using MPlayer or Zoom Player, or
2. Convert it to some other, more user-friendly format; i.e. to MPEG for DVD authoring, or straight to .VOB for DVD burning, or to XviD or DivX.
If you want to convert it,
you have to demultiplex (demux) the
MPEG streams first. This means you will need to seperate out the Video stream and an Audio stream,
then use a program to recombine them into your new (desired) output. ( See sample quality comparison )
STEPS:
I. DUMUX , any/all streams (ideally, this includes demuxing the Dolby Digital/AC3 stream, if available)
II. Fix files
III. REMUX:
Notes:
- .mpa can not be opened in Nero Wave Editor
- .m2v can not be opened in Windows Movie Maker (even if you rename to .mp2v)=============

I. Demultiplex Video & Audio from .pts file using 'DGIndex'
Tool: DG-Index
After this process completes
you will have the following files in the folder where your .tsp file is:1) es----.demuxed.m2v
[Type: MPEG-2 Video (M2V)]
2) es---- PID __23 DELAY -NNNms.mpa
[MPEG-1 Layer 2 Audio (MPA)- 48 khz, stereo, 192kbps, no CRC"]
3) es----.d2vNote: '*.d2v' is a "pass-through file" -- basically a dummy file telling what other files should be processed and how.
"DGIndex creates an index file called *.d2v. It can be read by DGDecode, which actually decodes the MPEG and delivers the video.
The index file just contains information that tells DGDecode where each frame is located and some information about each frame."This ouputting is left over from DVD2AVI (what DGIndex is based on).
See http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/file_extensions/d2v.cfm for a slightly longer explanation.
II. Use DVDPatcher to "repair" the .mpv file (optional)
This step patches the file to one of the DVD Standard sizes (704x480) and fixes the bitrate at the same time.
Many authoring programs will not be able to handle your remuxed file if you skip this step.
- Click the 'Browse' button and open the .m2v file.
- Select '704 (DVD, DVB)' for the horizontal size. All the other settings should be ok (3.5 MBit bitrate, 480 vertical resolution, 29.97 fps).
- Click 'Patch now!', and then 'Start'. You can now close DVDPatcher.Note: MPEG-2 DVD Standards:
720x480 (generally); 29.97 fps ; Audio: AC-3 (dolby/DD) or PCM (wav); additional tracks can be MP2 or DTS
Up to 9.8 Mbps (9800 kbps) MPEG2 video
Up to 1.856 Mbps (1856 kbps) MPEG1 video
720 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Full-D1)
704 x 480 pixels MPEG2
Audio:
48000 Hz
32 - 1536 kbps
Up to 8 audio tracks containing DD (Dolby Digital/AC3), DTS, PCM(uncompressed audio), and/or MPEG-1 Layer2 (MP2). One audio track must have DD or PCM Audio.
After the demux, all I want to do is combine [mux] the .mpa, .m2v, and a .d2v file set into a standard MPEG... (and apply the time offset for the audio file)...
III. REMUX:
Options:
- VOB Edit : output as .vob's
- mpeg-vcr : output as MPEG
- TMP.Genc* (TMPGEnc) : output as MPEGOther options for mux to vob's ? Adobe Encore DVD, TMP.Genc* DVD, dishrip ....
{ http://www.dvbdream.de/site_download_363.html&download=go?PHPKITSID=0cedb4ffc1d7b236bd3d4ef6f60cf0dd }Desired:
1. Mux to MPEG while applying audio offset.
2. Ability to MUX [encode] Dolby Digital with 5.1 channels (or other multi-channel sources) AND/OR
Dolby Digital/AC-3 [e.g. TMPGEnc Plug-in AC-3 $30 ?]
Sample: .tsp info as shown in DVDPatcher :
* I write it this way because "Temp-Gehnk" (TMP.GEnc) is easier to say than "Tee-Ehm-Peg-Ehnk" (T.MPG.Enc) or "Tee-Ehm-Pee-Jee Ehnk"... (T.M.P.G.Enc)
or "Tsunami Ehm-Pehg Encoder"...
