Recently started using gip to download sounds and audio files.

Unfortunately I've got my prefs set to force output to mpeg .TS. Result is my downloaded audio is being converted to .ts files unless I override the command line with --raw when downloading audio :-(

What command-line option are you using to set this?

Does anyone know a way to configure gip Video output format separately from Audio output format? I've had a quick look at all the options I have docs on but I can't see anything obvious.

Difficult to say without knowing how you set the preference in the first place.

Note:
I use .ts for historical reasons for video. I also have a decent .ts editor (TS-DOCTOR) that I like the interface for and it's quick to use and still handles 95% of content wonderfully. So quick, frame accurate, lossless editing with no hassle. I've not found anything that's as easy to find edit points quickly using a keyboard when editing other video formats. Most of them use timelines as they are designed more for assembling than straight editing. To be fair I have only tried free software such as shotcut and openshot so there may be something else out there that's better. If so maybe it's time to change base format to .mkv or mp4. I'm not averse to change, it's just that I need an editor that's as easy and quick to use.

Perhaps keep the file as *.ts until you've finished editing it, then convert it to something more mainstream such as *.mp4. The problem with *.mp4 is that it can be very difficult to edit accurately, as each 'packet' of video can be several seconds long, and you can't easily edit within a packet, only at packet boundaries, so keeping it as *.ts until its final version would make sense.

Note: I suspect 'packet' is the wrong word there, but I can't remember the correct terminology. Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say.
