Hi List,
We recently got a Humax PVR-9200 hard disc video recorder for
free-to-air digital terrestrial tv use ("Freeview" in the UK). I believe
it to be built on an embedded Linux, but can't confirm one way or the
other. There's a 160 GB HD and twin tuners, a non-standard (*) USB port,
but NO DVD.
Files extracted from the HD using Humax's own (MS Windows only) utility
(via the USB port) are given the extension '.ts' (for transport stream?)
and play OK out-of-the-box in e.g. xine / mplayer. However, trying to
use transcode & utilities to get them onto a DVD is proving frustrating:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/Video> tcprobe -d 2 -i GreenWing.ts
> [tcprobe] MPEG transport stream (TS)
> (ts_reader.c) Pids: 0x230 0x903 0x12c 0x0 0x232 0x231
> [tcprobe] summary for GreenWing.ts, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
> no audio track: use "null" import module for audio
- OK, an MPEG video stream is likely, but there IS a sound stream (I can
hear it...). Also tried various invocations of transcode itself, mainly
following the guidance on the wiki, most times I get sound but no (i.e.
green) picture, file size implies no video present. Also tried e.g.
any2dvd script, same results.
Please can anyone make any suggestions for how to proceed?
(*) It doesn't connect as an external storage medium, as you'd expect -
some other (proprietary?) protocol is used.
($) A reverse-engineered Linux equivalent is coming along but not
working for me, yet.
