Hello,
a friend of mine asked me for help with converting records from DVB-T. He uses Windows Media Center for recording. He send me a file with .dvr-ms extension.

I can play this file in DirectShow players (DSCaler 5 as video decoder and FFDShow as audio decoder), but it doesen't work with AviSynth and DirectShowSource. In Graphedit it says it can't connect audio pin. Video decoding works. If I try to open it in VirtualDub, I get an usual ASF message. If I try VD MPEG-2 with ASF support, It complains about not existing codec. Avidemux won't open the file.

If I try to open it in DGIndex 1.4.8, it looks like this:

It looks similar in ProjectX.

Do you have any idea how could I demux this file? If you're interested I can send you a 2,5MB sample I have.

Look around for an app called DVRmsToolBox . I think it will allow you to convert the file to straight Mpeg2.
