Video_TS Conversion

[Rob500]

Does anyone know of a way to convert Video TS folders into AVI or xVid files etc?

What are you trying to do? Any media player should be able to play the .vob files directly

A couple of years back my new turbo trainer came with a training dvd. I made a backup copy and it is of the TS format. This is fine and works well on computer dvd drive & standard dvd player.

But ..... Tonight, for the first time ever, I've found out that I can plug a usb flash drive into my TV and watch it on a big screen instead of a 15" laptop. There doesn't seem to be a single TS file in the folder that will run /execute the whole programme and there's no sound. Mpeg & DivX files work fine via the flash drive though.

I think you need to rip it. I use dvdfab which is great. I think you can use it free for a trial month

Yes, download handbreak. It'll allow you to transcode into mp4 or mkv formats in almost any quality. It's free too.

Thanks Lads. I'll give dvdfab & handbreak a check out.

try freemake but makesure to say no to the various freebies during install. handbrake may have a plethora of options but it's dog slow

Thanks Ian. I've made a note of "freemake" too.

Handbrake is my favourite on the Mac. If you have a quad core processor 64bit it isn't slow at all. If you have a Mac I can give you a list of the best apps.

Winx HD video converter is what I'm using at the moment.

I use MPEG Streamclip- it takes pretty much anything I throw at it, including the obscure .mod files that our work video camera produces, and converts it to pretty much anything else.
