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 00001.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: http://www.videohelp.com/software/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

Thomas,
You mention converting subtitles from DVD to DVB - have you had any success converting from old VDR 1.6 format (.vdr files) with subtitles ?
I'd like to convert my old VDR recordings to ts but extracting the subtitles is a problem, only ProjectX will do it as far as I can find, and the timing is out, plus sub colours don't translate across.
Thanks

No, I never used subtitles with old recordings - importing subtitles from commercial disks is the only use case for me.
