Transcode VDR Recordings (PES to TS or PS)

Hi,

I want to watch VDR-recordings on my Samsung C-Series LED-TV. Is it possible to rewrap/transcode vdr-files (PES) into a format suitable for my TV (e.g. .ts or .ps)? Could someone post the transcoding-config?

best regards,
sukkubus

this should be playable. CAn you see the file in Serviio's library on the TV?

hi zip,

.vdr files are not recognized by Samsung C-Series TV. If i change the files to .mpg, they are listed by the media player of my TV. However, if I try to play them, "format not supported" is displayed on the TV. Same happens, when I copy the files to an external hdd and connect it directly to the TV (i.e. without using UPNP/DNLA).

Hence I was asking for a rewrap/transcoding option via dnla to transform PES (i.e. VDR-Recordings) to PS- or TS-mpegs, that are properly displayed on my TV. I tested this by using "projectx" to convert vdr-recordings to TS.

best regards,
