Just to add 1 more opinion... Over 6 years i'm working with transport stream files and ALWAYS it was .ts because most of proprietary applications do not handle it correctly with any other extensions. There are DVD/VideoCD created by proprietary DVB Live TV recording that use transport stream files as well with .ts extension. Moreover, all players such as VLC/mplayer/xine well working with .ts transport stream files and do not require any renaming, while avidemux consider .ts a native extension for transport stream files as well.
IMHO, it sould be .ts On Sun, 2009-01-04 at 14:50 +0100, Martin Dauskardt wrote: > > From: Klaus Schmidinger <klaus.schmidin...@cadsoft.de> > > > Up to now VDR has used names like 001.vdr for its recording files. > > While moving to Transport Stream as the recording format, I need to > > use a different file name extension, and so was wondering which one > > to use.
