They remux the packets in WTV, so the process would be similar to what I suggested.

The easiest approach is probably to use the "SageTV MpegDeMux" filter with ATI's AVIVO mpeg muxer. It's possible to do this w/ DTB, but not straight forward. If I get some time at lunch I'll throw something together.

Andy rules!

I was secretly hoping you (Andy) would put together a feature in SageDCT that would do that magic voodoo to output MPEG2 files natively (if even possile). I would think that this may solve some problems people are having (at least me), and result in more comskip processing compatible files.

I am not sure if that is what you saying you might do "at lunch" (LOL), but I am hoping!

That being said, SageMCTuner has been rock solid for me, with the only complaint being the slow tuning, although I watch 99% of my TV via recordings, so even the slow tuning is no biggie.

Thank you!!

I tried to donate from your babgvant web site, but it only allows for 5.00 donations.. Can I just sent you a donation @ andyvt@babgvant.com from paypal?

It's possible, but not w/o relying on 3rd party components or more effort than I'm willing to put into it because TS works for me.

Just a simple cmd line application that uses the Sage Demuxer and ATI AVIVO (must be installed separately) to swap TS for MPEG (PS).

Noob alert..., How do I use the .exe ?

1) Install AVIVO. If you don't have an AMD video card you'll have to run it and let it fail, then find the AVIVO.msi installer in the folder it creates.

2) open a command prompt (window+r then type cmd)

3) cd to the location of the exe and type dcttstompeg.exe "d:\tv\somefile.ts" "d:\tv\somenewfile.mpg" then press enter

When I navigate to the AVIVO site I get "We're sorry, but this download request cannot be authorized. As an option, you may visit any of the pages below for information about our services and products: "

So this is essentially doing the same thing as VideoRedo Quick Stream Fix? Does this work in real time? if so, is there a way to fire it when a recording starts?

Running the converter immediately returns error "Invalid Pointer"

I'll add some logging and error checking on the way home, had to make some sacrifices to meet the schedule

Also I forgot to mention that it will only work on a PC w/ SageTV V7 w/ custom demux or 7.1 installed.

I completely understand If there is anyway to make this an option in the SageDCT setup, and make it real time, it would be freaking perfect..

Or some how have SageDCT natively correct the MPEG2 stream as it's writing it out would be even better

Anyway, as always thanks for all your work!!

Try this version. Add -v after the target argument to enable verbose mode.

Error:

System.ApplicationException: Demuxer must be installed
at babgvant.SageMCTuner.SBEConvert.ConvertFile.LoadFile(String sourcePath, St
ring targetPath)

I would assume it cant find the Sage Demuxer I may need detailed instructions on how to install the demuxer..

Download again. I forgot to force x86.

I just wanted to let you guys know how much I don't like you. I only have Time Warner and this thread just make me angry at verizon (and anyone who has access to fios).

Again. Added more logging. Is the above the entire output or just the part where it fails?

You can pipe it into a text file using > file.txt for easier copy/paste.

Here is the entire msg returned: (Excluding paths)

I get the same error returned even if I end the target file name .mpg or .ts, instead of .tmp
