Hi
I've read numerous threads on converting .ts files to DVD but seem to be going round in circles.
Recently I've tried
VideoRedo - can't open the files
VLC - can't remember what happened there
HDTVtoMPEG
and SUPER which did convert to mpeg but the screen ratio has gone a bit like 4:3. I tried setting it to 16:9 on conversion but it crashed half way through.


Is there any easy, free way to convert a ts file to a format suitable for burning onto DVD and keep the widescreen format it was originally watched in ?

If there isn't a free way, what is a good program to buy, again that makes the recording widescreen?

thanks for any help, Alex

I use ConvertX to DVD 3 works a treat. TS is listed as one of the types it can convert so it's not a fluke.

The latest versions of vide-redo will open SD hdr files. E-mail video-redo customer support , they will send you a link to a beta version that works fine. (Can't find the link at the moment)

This may be on no help at all, but if you have a PS3 it can play ts files without conversion; just copy them over on a stick and away you go - there is, unfortunately, a 4Gb limit on what the foxsat will allow you to copy which makes it tricky to copy HD material

On Mac if you have toast 7 or above you just drag the .ts file create menu and burn. It takes about half an hour in all.
