What are TS Files?
TS files are basically HD video files (MPEG-2). It’s possible to convert them using HDTV2MPEG for further processing but dgMpegdec is able to open TS files directly.
Required programs:
- dgMpegdec (successor of DVD2AVI)
- VirtualDub
- VFApi
- Winamp
Open the TS file in dgmpegdec.
Check if the option “Demux tracks” is enabled under Audio -> Output Method.
File -> Save Project.
This will create a D2V project file and an AAC audio file.
Processing the audio
The AAC file must be converted to WAV first, as it is a readable format for virtualdub. I usually convert audio files by using Winamp on disk writer mode.
Processing the video
Open VFAPI and load the D2V file.
After that click convert.
A file is created that is basically a “fake avi” which will read out the TS content.
Open the fake avi in virtualdub and apply filters like resizing and compression settings under Video.
Make sure you select the wav file you created under ‘Audio’ and to apply compression settings.
Now do: file, save as.
