Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

[fyretech]

From my research I have seen that there are 2 options to edit TS video files: iSkySoft and VideoReDo. Both of these have to be purchased. Are there any free tools that will do this?

I use VideoReDo but it is expensive. iWisoft Free Video Converter does edit TS video files I have used it at times and it works and is free--it will also convert to whatever format you like.


Free Video Converter: convert video files easily, AVI FLV WMV MP4 MKV MOV converter.

Here is another free one that will edit TS video files.

I just installed Win7 on my computer at home. By doing so, I lost my free Roxio Creator 9 that came with the computer. I just ordered Roxio Creator 2011 and the sales people say it will convert .ts files to other usual formats. I will install that in a few days. I hope it works. If so, I don't need the expensive programs mentioned here.

I contacted VideoReDo and he called me and assured me his 100 dollar program will do everything but brush my teeth.

Win 7 had a few hiccups, but now I am quite satisfied. Hope never to deal with Vista again on here.

The two programs I posted are free and work well at converting TS files.

Yes, I downloaded Freemake. I converted a couple files (didn't have my 1100c hard drive) from flv to wmv and burned to a dvd. It wouldn't play in my dvd player. I'll keep working with it some.

Thanks

Strange, works for me. Some DVD player will not play a DVD-R

When I try to edit in Freemake, the second window opens and closes down the whole thing.

The iWisoft one was capable of editing, but the output was choppy and the aspect ratio changed - playback on PC. I just used the HD-mpeg2profile, not sure which one to use. I will play with it some more.

If you know how to edit TS can you provide a step by step. I want to be able to playback on the DVR and PC. DVD burning would be secondary.

Thanks

edit:
I just played it in media player classic and there is no chopiness. So I'm fine with that. However when I use iWisoft to convert TS, the 'keep original' zoom setting shows as 352x480, which is the same look as 'letter box'. If I use any other zoom ratio it uses converts it nice it just adds a huge black area around the original picture when I playback. This happens regardless of profile chosen - even ts.

Try this setting in Media Player Classic-- See the picture
