best way to convert a hidef .tp file to .vob

[slider17]

hi

whats the best way to convert a .tp file to a Video_TS folder containing a .vob file??

i want to convert it to nero digital .mp4 format, but recode doesnt support .tp or .mpg files, only .vob

any suggestions?

thanks

is .tp the same as .mpg? if yes you can try simply renaming it to .vob (which is like .mpg)

if you can play the .tp file in a directshow player (like wmp) you can also create an avisynth script with directshowsource() and feed this into nero

thanks for the reply bond.

ive tried renaming the .tp file to .vob and nero doesnt open it.
i usually play my .tp files through VLC.
ive tried through wmp, it plays for like 3 secs then crashes. its using intervideo mpeg decoder filter. i have ffdshow installed too.
ive used avsynth scripts before to get vdub to accept .mp4 files, but never .tp files
what would the script look like?
and how do u open the script up in nero recode, it only supports .vob files within a VIDEO_TS folder.??

also why doesnt hdtv2mpeg app decode the audio when u convert from .tp to mpeg?
i can only get to video to convert.....?

thanks again

Nero's documentation could be a lot better - Recode can actually import a range of media types. Have you tried renaming the file to .mpg? If that fails, you'll have to venture into more complex territory to parse and remux the program streams to an mpeg. You can find a useful post with helpful advice and pointers to programs you might need here (http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1397406).

My experience is limited to UK StdDef DVB-T transport streams, but Recode can read those just fine.

what would the script look like?exactly like the scripts for .mp4, except that you link to the .tp file
of course this will only work if you can play the file correctly in a directshowplayer (not vlc) and you said you get crashes

and how do u open the script up in nero recode, it only supports .vob files within a VIDEO_TS folder.?? nero also supports .avs files

tp is like ts, I think. While .vob, .mpg and .ts usually contain mpeg-2 streams, the way of storing it is different, due to the different usages (iirc ts for example has some additional protection, can contain null packets etc pp). So it's no surprise nero doesn't accepts them, even if it's just mpeg-2 video.

ive used avsynth scripts before to get vdub to accept .mp4 files, but never .tp files
what would the script look like?
Directshowsource("C:\video.tp")

also why doesnt hdtv2mpeg app decode the audio when u convert from .tp to mpeg?
I've only seen tp files that were asian HDTV caps, so most likely the audio is AAC.

ive tried renaming files to no avail.

nero recode only opens files that are 100% dvd complaint. meaning that there has to be a .ifo etc file present in the VIDEO_TS folder. it wont just accept a .vob file by itself.

ditto with .avs scripts. impossible to open in recode.

on the other hand nero vision express 3 seems to handle the files, but it doesnt have the options i like that recode has.

p.s the source files are 1080i

If Vcl can play, the ffshow can play too, they use the same libary(libavcodec), get a new version of ffshow and in instalation mark all MPEG 2, after rename to MPEG and create the AVS script with directshowsorce()

ive changed it to ffdshow, still crashes. vlc plays it fine though.

??? What version of Recode are you using? Recode handles .avs files just fine and can open a wide variety of file types. Sounds like you have an old version or a corrupted installation.

im using the latest version.
2.2.7.2

how the hell do u open anything besides a .vob file in recode?

edit: its ok, i figured it out. now just have to get hdtv2mpeg2 to decode the audio. oh btw, i tried an avs script to open a .tp file in recode and it just crashes the program.

Heh, I'm using 2.2.6.17, so my version is older than yours. Just go to "Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital", click on "Add Title" and navigate to your desired file. If you open a VIDEO_TS folder, Recode will treat it as a DVD, but otherwise I have no difficulties.

i forgot all about the 'drag n drop' feature of the program.
