How do I get ts files to play using vlc, zoom or powerdvd without it pausing between each file?

 

[MrGone]

one way is to merge the files to one big file. At a command prompt,


copy /b *.ts BigFile.ts

I tried the copy /b method to create one large .ts file from my 1 minute HiPix .ts files. In most cases this worked, however with a few of the recordings I either had no display or the secondary channel program would play. I found HTDVtoMPEG2 would work in all cases. It also creates a slightly smaller files because you select which channel to transfer. I am able to perfectly playback my recordings in MCE 2005 using the nvidia decoder.


I setup HTDVtoMPEG2 for Transport Stream output, .ts Extension and Maximum size 99999.

There's a program called nullpacketstripper.jar that sews the 1 minute .ts files together. It's a java program and is run from cmd line. Google it...

I was thinking loading a large ts file will take a lot of resources in xp compared to the individual ts files.

Not at all - it doesn't load the whole file at once anyway, it just pulls it off the disk as needed. nullpacketstripper is the way to go.....never had a problem with it.
