I need to convert JTV (J River TV Format) to MPG or other standard format

<< < (2/7) > >>

JimH:
ffmpeg is the basis of most converters.  MC will download it if you don't have it.  This happens when you try to put unsupported video files on a PSP or iPod.  MC gets ffmpeg and uses it to convert video.

I'm not sure whether it works with TV files yet.

This even works with my RAZR and should work with other cell phones.

Mmm I've got ffmpeg if needed but I notice that when playing these DVB T Recoding files they use the MS MPEG Filter to playback on my HTPC....so I'm guessing that to push the file out to a MPG container you don't need to transcode but just a remuxer to join/mux the J River files into the correct container - is this correct?  (if so then you can remove my 5) Transcoding Degradation argument earlier).

Thanks
Nathan

Is this suggestion similar to the capabilites of the Matroska container? If so, why not use that? My understanding is it's designed to be as flexible as possible, allowing multiple files, streaming etc. The container also seems to be gaining momentum (slowly but surely). Just a thought.

Also, given you're going down the road of a new format - especially if you're thinking cross-platform, is it worth releasing the codec into the wild? i.e. open-source it.  While I understand the reasons for not open-sourcing MC, I'm not so so about restricting access to the codec. After all, if its a good codec, the more ubiquitous it becomes the better - and you're sure to find it starts popping up on all sorts of platforms :D

Just to clear up any confusion, this isn't about a video codec.  For digital TV, we save already encoded data to disk.  We're only describing the container format -- dvr-ms vs JRiver.

Thanks - so is it possible to remux to MPG (comming, workaournd, way etc) once you've finished with the live stream (Timeshift requirments I guess) as I don't see the need to keep the saved file in JRiver format over MPG?
