For years I used a Humax PVR 9200T and copied the files (albeit slowly!!) via a USB cable to my laptop. I could then edit out the ads etc. using a natty little freebie program called HDTVtoMPEG2 (a bit of a misnomer as it will happily covert SD .ts files into shorter edited .ts files). It's a very intuitive little package and reliable. ConvertXtoDVD was my usual way of producing video DVDs of the edited product (again, highly recommended but not free!)
Now I have a HDR FOX T2 and a Humax 2000T, both of which save the programmes as non-standard .ts files which the HDTVtoMPEG2 software won't recognise. (If I understand correctly, Humax is resetting some flags in the .ts file header.) Humax customer help (another misnomer, perhaps?) won't suggest a package to edit the transferred files. I've found a clumsy and cumbersome way to edit out ads using ProjectX and Mpg2Cut2, nether of which I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Has anyone got a simpler way of doing this? I'd ideally want something that works on the PC with the transferred files, rather than something that runs in the Humax machines, as the 2000T doesn't seem to have the ability to run firmware "hacks". (If I'm wrong about this, please enlighten me!)
If all else fails, a program that could convert the .ts files into a regular, normal format that HDTVtoMPEG2 can handle would be very acceptable! Thanks.
