Is there any way to cut a .TS HI def stream

[poggs]

I have a 13gb 1080i hi def video in .ts transport stream format. I want to put it on DVD. How can I chop/cut this file into 4.35gb chunks?

any ideas?

HDTVtoMPEG2 is your answer!!

Goose74,

I just tried HDTVtoMPEG2 on a HDV m2t stream, but it didn't work for me. It seemed to run, but the output file was only 3 KB in size and didn't play. Are you sure this works for HDV from a camcorder (which I assume is what "poggs" is asking for), as opposed to a HDTV stream? This software was written long before the HDV standard was even created..

ah apologies - I have not tested it with HDV - I guess I wrong assumed it was mpeg2 TS hdtv stuff. Would total commander work?

[andypandy]

aren't you seriously downgrading the quality, by doing that ?

HD to normal dvd.

If you downres to SD for DVD video, yes. But the question was about taking the native HDV file and splitting it up (to put 20 mins or so on a DVD).

I think Womble can probably do this.. but that costs (and I don't have it to be sure).

30 day free trial if you want to try though

Can't use just use zip or winrar to break it into chunks ?

Yes winrar can do that without compression...And you can also create some parity files which is good if you archive and one of your files get corrupted...Alternatively there is also a utility called tsmerge.....which funnily enough can also split

[redsox_mark]

Looks like WinZip 10.0 Pro on Windows XP can also split a large file over multiple DVDs.. so I assume this would also work for a ts file. If it is just for archiving this would work....

ts merge sounds interesting... I found some references to it with a Google search but couldn't find a working link to the software...
