I have two backends, a PVR-250 recording mpeg-ps files and a firewire box recording mpeg-ts. My Hauppage MVP works very well on the mpeg-ps files but will not play mpeg-ts files. I've been playing with, and appear to be successful, using mencoder to create mpeg-ps files from the ts files that will play on the MVP. In fact, I just converted and watched about two hours of "Hot Rocks" on the science channel, a quite excellent series from your side of the pond. Conversion of the ts files to ps files using the "copy" codec is quite fast....about 700 fps on a 2.8G intel, but a little more susceptable to noise. Using the mpeg2video codec, conversion is about 70 fps. In either case, the sound must be encoded from it's ac3 format to mpeg 1 layer 2 for the MVP to play. Hope this helps, Barry _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
