Unfortunately Windows uses a proprietary video format, wtv. There are some applications that will convert wtv to mpg or ts format which is a more common container. This is especially useful if you want to edit the video, for example cut out the commercials. One problem with wtv is it can not be used to burn DVD/Bluray disks, it must be converted to a standard container that is acceptable for burning. What a lot of users are doing is automatically converting wtv to a standard container and then saving it. The **best** tool for editing is VideoReDo (VRD). It cost ~$100 BUT it can, right now mostly handle wtv. I say mostly because it has been a work in progress because they must reverse-engineer things. VRD supports most of the common commercial video containers like ts, mpg, mp4, H264, and more encoding and decoding. It is well worth the money. Oh it is also frame-accurate in editing, which you will not find elsewhere. http://www.videoredo.com/en/index.htm Mike... > That is impressive.
