not all .TS created equal:
Tried VLC Player and I couldn't get the video to open up ...
You didn't really specify where you got your .TS, and that could be the problem.
As mentioned above, the Visionsat (and relatives) put a header on the front of their .TS file.
Video ReDo has no problem reading through the header to the real transport stream!
When you have it write out a .TS transport stream, it deletes that header, and
THAT .TS
IS readable by VLC!
That header contains info about the show.
Restoring the edited and headerless .TS to the Visionsat leaves the STB a little blind, but it will still play the file.
When this all came to light, I begged the VideoReDo guys to let us preserve or edit the header, but the receiver manufacturer wouldn't disclose the format.
...VIDEO-REDO trial version is up and running ...... Very Nice
Wish I knew about Video-redo before, what a nice utility for quick editing of commercilas and unwanted material.
Now you know why we users brag about it so much! - :up
I've been a customer for four years. Back then there was no competition.
Even today, with many new utilities, there doesn't seem to be an equal.
edit: as B.J. suggested above, I generally save to .MPG , as it is quick (no real re-encoding).
From MPG, I run it through DVD Labs to make a DVD.
Alternately, the newest VideoReDo could make a DVD directly from the edited transport stream.
Or as others suggest, VRD can output whatever you like to play through your home media player.
All these tools have so many possible choices, you will at first have trouble deciding which path is for you.
