Watching 5xxx rec files - RecToTS

[Lightning Man]

Looks like someone was able to decypher the 7700 HSCI Format:
viewtopic.php?t=18940

[Nold0r]

NoIdOr: Sorry, I didn't recognize stream type 81 as a known one. I had print info about it (AC-3), so something about it was in the source code. Well rapid developed application... Now 81 have been added as known type. New release up on the page.

PS. This should have been a good point to run without the "only known PIDs" switch, but this is not possible in combination with creating the 7700HD files. Well, maybe I will fix this also in the future.

@ Top4: Thank you for your work and spontaneous reaction! The tone is now processing but the 7700 did not recognize it - there is no Audio track

[Top4]

NoIdOr: Please post the printouts and I will look at it.

im sorry to ask such a stupid question but i just cant figure out how to use this tool. i have a 4.5GB *.ts file which i would like to play on my tf7700hdpvr...
i downloaded the RecToTs.exe file but im just too dumb to figure out how it works. could anyone help me and post short, idiot-proof instructions?
thanks!

Die TS-File muss sich im Hauptverzeichnis (c:\) befinden.
Dann öffnest du die Eingabeaufforderung, die befindet sich in Programme/Zubehör. Es öffnet sich dieses schwarze Fenster mit dem Kursor. Damit der Kurser im Hauptverzeichnis landet, tippst du mehrmals ein: cd.. drückst auf <return>, bis dort steht: c:\>
Hier tippst du ein: rectots_ *.ts_ d:\_ /7

(Erklärung: _ ist ein Blank, also Leerzeichen. *.ts bedeutet, er nimmt sämtliche TS-Files, die sich im C-Hauptverzeichnis befinden, das erspart das Eintippen der Dateinamen. d:\ ist das zweite Laufwerk, auf das er die fertigen Topfdateien kopiert, also das USB-Laufwerk, das dann an den Topf angeschlossen wird. /7 ist wichtig, damit er die drei Extradateien erstellt.)

Wenn du jetzt auf Return drückst, fängt er an die TS-File auf Festplatte C: in Topf7700-Datei auf Laufwerk D: zu wandeln. Falls dein USB-Laufwerk beispielsweise den Laufwerksbuchstaben E: hat, dann nimmst du E: statt D: Dann hieße es: rectots_ *.ts_ e:\_ /7

Das gleiche geht mit rec-Dateien, dann schreibt man allerdings in der Befehlszeile statt *.ts ebend *.rec.

erstmal vielen dank fuer die anleitung. jetzt hab ich verstanden wie das funktioniert. bei mir kommt jedoch immer die fehlermeldung: failed to create out file.
warum kommt das und was kann ich dagegen machen?
ich hab den screenshot vom fehler angehaengt...

[Hallmackenreuther]

Vielleicht liegt es an der TS-Datei. Solltest du einen Topfield 5000 haben, versuche doch mal eine Rec-Datei testweise umzuwandeln, oder besorgte dir aus dem Netz eine andere TS-Datei, z.B. einen Trailer. Bei mir hat es mit Rec-Dateien vom Topfield5000 immer geklappt.

ich hab leider keinen aelteren topfield. der 7700er ist mein erster. die datei die ich ansehen moechte ist eine matroska (.mkv) datei die ich mithilfe von dem programm tsmuxer in eine ts datei umgewandelt habe...gibt es vielleicht ein anderes programm welches die fuer den 7700er noetigen strukturen erstellen kann?
danke und lg

It was not possible to create the destination file. Either a file already exist or no write permission. The destination (out) file will have the same name as the input file (.ts), but with extension .rec and be located in the given destination folder.

[kornspitz]

thanks for your response. i tried again and made sure that there is no file with the same name, that there is enough space on my harddisk, and that i have administrator rights on the computer. it still says it cant create the file...do you have any other ideas?
thanks again for your help...

[hgdo]

Please tell us the complete name of the file

[kornspitz]

I simply named it Test.ts

@Top4

I successfuly converted several ts-files into TF7700HDPVR format. So the program works fine for me. Now I have a ts file containing this: Dolby Digital Audio Stream #74 and AVC Video Stream #73 (TsRemux is telling me this).
I converted it with RecToTs into TF7700HDPVR format but I can only watch the video stream, there is no sound. Here ist the content of the RecToTs.log:

What can I do to get the sound working?

kornspitz: Could you post the complete command string you run (for the Test.ts file that fails). You could also test to copy the file. To a file named <the destination path>Test.rec

BBC-HD-Fan: New beta version up. The AC-3 PID was not included in the ifo and add files. Hopefully now fixed, I haven't tested it. Please run and let me know if it works or not.

Thanks a lot. Sorry, but I made a mistake telling you the stream ID's of the last ts-file: Dolby Digital Audio Stream #74 and AVC Video Stream #73 were the ID's BEFORE creating the ts-file.

The ts file I want to convert into TF7700HDPVR format has the following stream ID's:
Dolby Digital Audio Stream #0 and AVC Video Stream #17 (TsRemux is telling me this). Here the details of the ts-file (MediaInfo is telling me this):

General

Now I converted this ts file with your new beta of RecToTs. Again there is only picture but no sound. Here is the RecToTs.log:

It would be great if you could find a way.

[Top4]

Oops, late night programming!

Well now a new beta is up. Now, I hope, the 0x81 stream shall be used as AC-3 audio track.

PS. The last value on the ".add" row is the default audio PID. If it is 1FFF, there will be no sound. The audio PID should also be on the ".ifo" row.

I couldn't find the new beta. It seems to be the file I used yesterday (6.6.2008 0:12). Please upload the new one. Thanks!

Doch ist da. Vielleicht im Browser mal "aktualisieren" klicken, damit die Website sich neu lädt.

@TOP4

You did it man! It's working! The converted ts file runs with picture and sound on my TF7700HDPVR! Here is the log file.

ITV HD seems to send in a different audio format now (PCM). I recorded yesterday a part of the soccer match. Here are details of the ts file shown in Mediainfo:

I tried to convert it with RecToTs and again there is only picture and no sound. Here is the log file:
