Hi, new here so please forgive my ignorance.
I'm trying ot archive some recordings from the 9200 to free up some space, I don't really want to use scart to the DVD recorder.
I've found some posts but they seem to be quite old and I'm sure things must have moved on in that time.
I have downloaded the TS files onto my laptop but can't play them.
I opened one of them using ProjectX which has then given me a number of files (JFO, m2v, mp2 * 2, SUP and TXT), obivously the TXT file is an activity log but what do I do with the rest to get them onto a DVD.
I'm lookin for the most efficient way to do this and am not averes to paying for the software. I also don't want to become a DVD processing geek (havn't got the time ) I just want to know how to create watchable DVDs
Any help greatly appreciated.

VideoRedo will open, edit (frame-accurate) and convert .TS files to Mpeg2.
VideoRedo TV Suite version will author and write DVDs straight from the .TS files, edits and menus included, much recommended for this specific task.
Nero Vision as included in Nero 7 - Nero 8 packages will flexibly create DVDs from many video file types.
As I say I'm a bit ignorant on this subject so I'd just like to clarify a few points in your reply.
1) VLC will allow me to play the TS files on my computer but not do any conversion or writing to disk?
2) Video Redo will allow me to edit files but I will then need Nero or similar to do the disk writing?
3) Video Redo TV suite will do everything I need to go from a downloaded TS file to disk? Nero 8 may do this also?
If I've understood correctly option 3 appears to be the way to go as it has everything 'under one roof'
NeroVision is much more comprehensive, can include AVI and MP4 source material amongst others, and fully customiseable menus with audio and moving background video, and flexible compression to give the best quality setting using the whole 4.5Gb available space. But it is overkill when TVSuite is so simple and quick.
I've downloaded trial versions of VideoRedo TV Suite and Nero and been experimenting with both. One thing I did find is that I had one file which VR would have nothing to do with, kept comming up with messages about PID or something even though VLC will play it no problem, Nero was happy with it.
I've not checked prices yet but I guess from what you're saying Nero is more expensive?
Now I'm having problems getting Media eLinker to download the TS files, it was working perfectly at the w'end. Keeps disconnecting now, any suggestions?

has the answer, you might need to increase the number to 20 for some files
