[vdr] How to convert e.g. mp4 to VDRs .ts file?

[Stephan Loescher]

Dear VDR users,

I try to convert some mp4 files (in different video resolutions) to 
native VDR .ts files, because I want to access this videos in the very 
same way, as I am used to do with VDR recordings.

(So mplayer-plugin or xinelib-mediaplay is not a solution.)

I had some success with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -f mpegts -vcodec mpeg2video -aspect 16:9 -s 4cif 
-acodec mp2 -ar 48000 -ab 192k -q:v 1 1.ts


But there is some "stuttering" and artefacts/dropouts when replaying in 
VDR (full-featured DVB card)


What is the best way to convert video files to VDR or how to create the 
same files, like VDR records itself?


Thanks for any help in advance!

Best regards,
Stephan.

Hi Stephan

I started to convert my disks (DVD and BluRay) to VDR recordings and for me, 
the most convenient tool to remux into TS format is tsMuxeR:

With ffmpeg I had the same issues when muxing H264 streams. But ffmpeg is still 
my choice if I have to convert any of the stream. E.g. getting rid of black 
bars or convert subtitles from DVD to DVB format.

Regards,
Thomas
