Free copying and editing of HD TS files on PC to DVD

[Ezra Pound]

RCA phono connections with the three sockets required for component replace the peritel 4 connections required for RGB.

But RCA phono connections with the three sockets carries YPbPr component video, which is not interchangable with RGB

I've found programs such as VideoRedo, SolveigMM Trimmer and TSniper excellent for chopping bits out or HD recordings, but no matter what program I try, VLC, Splash (MPC no use for me), I alway get ramping up and down of audio for surround TS files that use AAC audio - AC3 is fine! I've not found a solution yet, and it affects BBC/Ch4 and all other HD AAC surround ts files. Anyone know of a solution?

There are a number of free utilities that will convert aac to ac3. Try this one chosen at random

That's what I said US DVD players output component as do most UK ones. US ones don't have RGB capability provided by UK kit with scart connections. DVD colour information is encoded YPrPb on the disc anyway.

Conversion YPrPb to RGB and vice versa is trivial. HDMI uses both.

Thanks. I realise I can re-encode, but I wondered if other people playing such files on their PC's have noticed this problem? I've not found any PC on XP that plays them ok - home or three PC's at work. Surprised that the problem is not more wisespread. Perhaps Win7 and newer WMP works better.
btw - there's a warning about that program from the reviewer, did nasty things to their PC.
